"Marty, what's wrong with this place...?"

"Oh..." Li Mu sighed and said, "I guess too, I can say that before. Everything about the land is subject to the announcement of the court. I am just obedient and obedient here."

Everyone understood that Li Mu did not want to take responsibility, and they all said, "Don't worry, Marquis, we are all chatting."

"Yes, yes, chatting, don't count, don't count!" Li Mu echoed and laughed: "When talking about this, it has something to do with the rise in grain prices a few days ago."

He glanced at the Shandong merchants and said, "Your Majesty is furious. Although this matter did not cause any bloody disaster under my persuasion, it was fooled. But this matter seemed to have reminded Your Majesty. Later, Your Majesty asked me several times and asked me a lot of things. In one of them, Your Majesty asked me how many refugees are, whether there is labor among the refugees, whether they can cultivate the land, if they use Zhenguan plow, if they do not have oxen, whether they can plant them, etc., etc., some things related to land and farming."

"I answered one by one, but I couldn't help but have many associations. Think about it, why did Your Majesty ask about this at this moment? I guessed it randomly. Your Majesty was probably angry with the gentry of Shandong. Think about it, the current land policy of the Tang Dynasty, and everyone understands what's going on. It's said it's the equal-land system, but in fact? Who has not much land in each family, family, especially Shandong, which is densely populated?"

Li Mu said with a heartache: "There are too much land in your hands! If you follow the rules, you can have one-tenth of the land in your hands, then that's too much!"

"Your Majesty is kind, he turns a blind eye and never says anything. But look at the things done by the gentry in Shandong. What did they do? People and Gods are angry! They planted land that does not belong to them and got food, and came to my country of Tang to raise prices! We must use this as a basis to negotiate with the Ministry of Internal Affairs! We must use this as a threat to make me Li! We want to give Your Majesty a little ugly! We want to negotiate with Your Majesty and let the bullshit scholars who got out of Chang'an come back!"

"My God..." Li Mu asked Cang Tian speechlessly, saying, "How stupid, friends!"

"Who are you your Majesty? Are you a foolish monarch? Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and he is decisive in killing. If you don't say the distance, just say the nearest ones, he..." Li Mu gasped and said, "Have you destroyed the Turks this year?"

He said that, but it was not the case for everyone to hear it.

Li Mu was breathing heavily, and it was obvious that what he wanted to say was another thing, and the words were temporarily changed to this when he spoke. So what was the thing he didn't say? If he didn't say it, it was not the matter of destroying the Turks, so it was only the thing that could not be mentioned.

Xuanwu Gate!

Everyone then realized what Li Mu meant. His Majesty is decisive in killing now. Those who obey will prosper, and those who rebelled will perish. This is definitely not just a saying. In order to become emperor, he even killed his brothers! Will a person who can kill even a brother care about a mere merchant or a clan?

Everyone was chilling. The two Shandong merchants sitting in the corner had already frozen, as if they were wearing swords and axes, and they didn't dare to show off.

"So, stupidity is beyond remedy! These people don't think about it. Is there any king's land within the four seas? Is there a king's minister in the shores of the land? Do you dare to rebel? I dare not, can you rebel? Now the Tang Dynasty has a million armored armor, and it will definitely not be possible. Since it cannot be achieved, you have to be honest. You play tricks with Your Majesty, can you gain a advantage?"

"Your Majesty is angry about it, so he naturally has to let out this breath. How does this breath come out? Of course it comes out on the land. Based on some of the words I heard by Your Majesty these times, I judge that Your Majesty may be going to attack the land."

"As for the means, there are only a few types. First check the land. The Tang Dynasty was a equal-field system, and everyone had a lot of land. How to calculate it if it was too much? Of course, it was taken back! Also, refugees opened up land and increased land. I don't know anything else. Anyway, if Your Majesty really wanted to do this, it would definitely be possible with the Zhenguan plow. By next year, the land will double and the grain will double. If there is no shortage of food, naturally no one can raise the price of food."

"See, this is the emperor's anger! How terrible? Your Majesty did not kill the businessmen who made trouble, but he used this method to force them to death... Alas, it's so pitiful."

As he said that, Li Mu sighed and stood up and said, "I can't say this. After all, this is a matter of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. I heard that I guessed it all. Don't go to your heart. It's getting late, so it's all gone. Thank you for your kindness. I'll return it another day."

When everyone heard such explosive news, they were not in a mood to care about anything they had to pay back. They stood up in a daze and said goodbye to Li Mu, and walked out in absent-minded manner. Especially the two Shandong merchants, who made a living by selling food. Now they heard that Li Shimin wanted to check the land, which is not enough? There is no need to check in Shandong. There is not much land in no one. If Li Shimin uses this matter to enlighten him, he will be sure to open one by one!

Although, they also understood that this matter was fundamental. If Li Shimin really did this, the various ethnic groups in Shandong who were forced to desperately rebel. But the matter was also divided, and Li Mu had already left the words.

Can rebellion be accomplished?

It definitely won't be possible!

During the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Shandong heroes emerged. In that era, people were needed, money, food, and food were needed. Under such circumstances, Li Tang was allowed to unify the country. Now, Li Tang had just destroyed the Turks and had a strong morale, and there was no possibility of winning.

Even if they raise the flag and rebel, it will only cause some trouble for Li Tang. Once they fail, the Shandong gentry will be destroyed!

It’s pitiful to think about it. If you are fighting with others, at most you can make others bruises, but this bruises have to be exchanged for your own life! You can tell which one is more or less, and you are not a fool.

When the phoenix is ​​coming out, the cold wind blows, and the whole body is filled with cold heart.

...

Li Mu couldn't rest when he returned to the backyard. There were two big men in the study room who didn't answer correctly. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the study room, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He heard the sound in the study room, and it seemed that it was not two people. Li Mu stood at the door and called Xiaolan over and whispered: "Come in and see how many people are there?"

Before Xiaolan could respond, Li Shimin's voice came out: "Don't bother, come in, I came with the help of the auxiliary, the prince and Qingque."

Li Mu's expression froze on his face, sighed, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, of course I know you are here. Isn't this making tea for you? Xiaolan, go quickly and bring the best tea I have made with myself!"

"Tea, come in, I have something to ask you."

Li Mu had no choice but to go in. The study room that was not very big was crowded, so many people were squeezed in. Li Mu looked at Li Shimin, smiled and said, "What is your Majesty doing? What is your virtue? How can you dare to let Your Majesty wish me a New Year--"

"Who is here to greet you?" Li Shimin was amused and crying, and said, "I went out of the palace to see if he was missing anything. When Qingque was about to come to pay homage to your mentor, I came here together. I met Chengqian on the way, and he came to you for a map, and this is how he came."

Li Mu glanced at Changsun Wuji and said, "That uncle..."

Changsun Wuji took over the conversation and said, "I came before His Majesty, and came from the back door."

Li Mu suddenly realized and secretly admired Changsun Wuji. He saw why he was the first person in the dragon. He had a scheming in his heart. He came to the front door and lost a lot. He seemed to be a dignified uncle, who wished a junior a New Year, and he had something to ask for. It was different from the back door. No one saw it or talked about it. It was indeed a clever one.

Li Mu felt sorry for his heart, and couldn't say anything, and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't blame me, don't blame me, I'll pull Changsun to the strong man, and don't let him accompany him at home during the New Year. But it doesn't delay, so I'll let him go back in the afternoon."

"Where is this going, if you have something to do, you will be your disciple, and it is his obligation."

Li Mu looked at Li Tai and said, "I'm a little thinner, but I still have to keep working hard, but I'm still too fat. You have to study like Changsun Chong. Look at him, he has now transformed from a useless playboy to a teaching student of a playboy. He dare not speak out for his achievements as a teacher, but he is proud enough to save a lost boy..."

"Okay!" Li Shimin interrupted Li Mu's bragging, looked at Hou Junji, coughed lightly, and said, "I came late, I don't know what happened. Shujie and Junji are here, are you asking for something to do? What's the matter? Tell me to listen to me."

Li Mu observed his expression and felt something was wrong. Looking at the situation, it seemed that Hou Junji came here today, and it seemed that Li Shimin was instructed to do so?

This possibility cannot be ruled out. Li Mu couldn't help but be alert, and still pretended to be stupid on the surface, saying, "Your Majesty, I don't know, I'm still wondering, Wang Shizhong and the general are both elders of the boy. It's time for me to go to greet you all. How can I work for you to come to my place? It's really a disaster."

Wang Gui thought to himself, have you ever regarded me as an elder? If you treat me as an elder, you can't give me a look, so that I can't see anyone for half a month. If I don't come today, it would be strange if you can come to greet me for New Year! If I don't ask me for trouble, I will burn incense and worship Buddha.

He couldn't say anything about Li Mu in front of Li Shimin. Wang Gui smiled and took over the conversation, saying, "Your Majesty, I came here to ask if there is any news from my younger brother. I am old, and I want my relatives on the New Year's Day. My younger brother is forty years apart from me. It's the first time that I'm going so far away, how can I not worry about it and make Your Majesty laugh."
