Five hundred and sixty-fifth storm (1)(1/3)

The game of left-handed versus right-handed among the nobles and ministers in Chang'an City had just begun when it came to an end.

The Huben Guards and the Yulin Guards were stationed in all the offices and granaries of the Shaofu, Neishi and Da Nong Orders.

The ministers, envoys, attendants and doctors in Weiyang Palace went to every official office to work.

These close ministers of the emperor strictly implemented the emperor's regulations on grain transactions.

No matter how powerful you are, and your hands and eyes can reach the sky, you still need to hold the bamboo talisman of household registration in order to buy food, and you can only buy up to five shi at a time.

As a result, everyone had tears in their eyes and was so sad.

The reaction of the entire bureaucratic and aristocratic class was a bit overwhelming.

Since ancient times, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents.

The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable!

If only one or two people are against each other, that is called having ulterior motives and plotting against evil.

Ten or twenty chirps are anti-Liu and anti-Han, which is a heinous crime.

Thousands of people shout in unison, which means that righteous teachers have risen up to fight against the tyrant.

Liu Che has a very clear understanding of this.

The lessons of past dynasties told Liu Che that he could suppress the bureaucrats and powerful people, but he could never force them into a corner.

The best way to deal with the powerful bureaucracy is to give them a slap in the face and a sweet date.

Therefore, Liu Che then issued an edict: The princes and two thousand stones, the pillars of the country, assist me in ruling the world. They have done a great job. Praising the meritorious officials and educating them are the virtues of the three generations of ancestors. Although I am not sensitive, I am still willing to emulate them.

He was given to the princes and two thousand stones, and one of his sons was regarded as a scholar, in order to praise his merits and praise his hard work.

As a result, many people's originally injured hearts were somewhat comforted and felt a little better.

The sweet date given by Liu Che is actually a policy that will be announced during the exam this year.

Scholars who are examined and promoted must go to the whole country, to various counties and counties, and become an important part or even a major part of the ruling class.

However, the old bureaucratic aristocratic group will definitely not sit idly by and watch emerging political forces replace them.

If these people started making noise and causing trouble, Liu Che would be a little unable to hold on.

The only way is to bribe them.

Let them participate in this political process and give them some benefits and privileges.

In this way, they will not become obstacles and destroyers of this change.

After the edict was issued, although the noble ministers still had some complaints and dissatisfaction, most of them still recognized the current situation and knew that the emperor would never allow them to destroy the stability of Guanzhong.

Many people even woke up and broke out in a cold sweat. If their plan really succeeded, there might not be much left of Guanzhong's millions of stone grain reserves, and there was no way there would be much left.

The Shaofu and the internal history who lost their grain reserves would inevitably lose control of the grain prices in Guanzhong.

By then, food prices will skyrocket and people's livelihood and economy will be destroyed.

The anxious Weiyang Palace may not be willing to operate on their heads and use the blood of several culprits to apologize to the people.

The top princes and close confidants of the royal family will definitely not suffer this attack.

So, obviously, it is these little shrimps who will take the blame.

"Why bother..." Although many people still find it difficult to let go of the fact that a piece of wealth that was easily obtained has disappeared.

However, think about your head, wealth and life.

There is no doubt that they have shrunk.

And the next piece of gossip made these people quickly put aside the previous dissatisfaction rumors. The emperor convened the Shangshutai and his ministers for several days to study the plan of demarcating a new fiefdom in the Xinhua and Huaihua areas.

It is said that the emperor believed that the thousands of miles of land between Xinhua City and Huaihua City were in urgent need of development and utilization.

But the local population is sparse.

Moreover, it is freezing cold, there are many forests, and it is outside the Great Wall.

There are very few people who are willing to migrate to the local area.

Even if it is a reclamation group, it is difficult to arrange it locally.

Therefore, the emperor set his sights on the vast number of princes who were "the pillars of the country and the heroes of the country".

It was decided to enfeoff thousands of miles of local land, except for the Yaoren territory, to 'meritorious ministers and pillars of the country'.

It is said that even a low-level prince with a settlement of 500 households can get a fief with a radius of ten miles.

The top ten thousand households can even get a feudal kingdom with a radius of hundreds of miles.

All minerals, forests and resources in the feudal country shall be owned by the feudal princes.

As soon as this gossip spread, the entire feudal class immediately experienced an earthquake.

Who would think that their feudal state is too small and has too little land?

As for the area in Xinhua City, the weather is freezing, the climate is harsh, and the level of development is extremely low.

What does it matter?

Who doesn’t like getting a piece of land for free? Who doesn’t want to?

Moreover, all the princes have big families and big businesses.

Who doesn’t have brothers, nephews, relatives or friends to take care of?

A piece of land, no matter how barren it is, no matter how harsh the environment, can always feed people.

in particular……

Although Xinhua is cold and remote, it has high mountains and dense forests.

But it can always feed people!

The big deal is that a family of five can be raised on 100 acres in China, but five people can be raised on 1,000 acres in Xinhua!

Not to mention, the ginseng sold to Chang'an by countries such as Yiren and Zhenfan in recent years has attracted the attention of many people.

The mere fact that ginseng is produced locally makes many people unable to contain their excitement.

And a piece of news "accidentally" leaked by Mo Yuan and the Shaofu ignited the enthusiasm and expectations of countless people. According to the report of the agricultural officials and Mohists sent by the Shaofu and the Mohists to Xinhua:

Although the ground is bitter and cold, it is very fertile and can be used to grow beans.

There is also news from the military that some soldiers picked up gold nuggets during patrol outside Xinhua City.

This shows that there are gold and copper mines in the area.

At this moment, countless people's eyes were red.

Everyone craned their necks, waiting for news from Weiyang Palace.

As for what happened before, everyone immediately forgot about it: a one-time extra income. Can it be compared with land that can be inherited from generation to generation and passed on to future generations?

And amidst these bustling noises, the order sent out from Chang'an City finally arrived in Jiangdu Kingdom.

When the envoy gasped and handed over the edict from the emperor to Liu Lang, the king of Jiangdu, Liu Lang immediately summoned the ministers in Jiangdu to discuss specific arrangements.

The prime minister appointed by Liu Che to Liu Yan was Zhang Shizhi, a former court captain, and the tutor was Feng Tang, a famous and wise minister in the Taizong Dynasty.

Although Zhang Shizhi was not in good health, he was rich in experience. Feng Tang had also been in officialdom for twenty or thirty years.

With these two people, Liu Yan doesn't actually need to have much ability.

Everything in the country was arranged properly by these two people.

It's the same this time.

"The gods have given me a warning, and I should obey the edict!" Liu Yan first expressed his attitude, then looked at the two wise ministers and said: "I will entrust the evacuation matter and the specific arrangements to the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister.

So great!"

Zhang Shizhi and Feng Tang looked at each other and smiled.

They were also used to Liu Yan's behavior.

Relatively speaking, Liu Yan like this is equal to Ming Zhu for the two of them.

Liu Yan was like this. No matter what he did, he would leave everything to his ministers. He would just write letters to Chang'an to complain. It was so difficult to find a master who was cute at the same time.

This is probably the only one in the entire Han Dynasty.

It's just that the emperor's decree made these two people a little confused. Based on a dream, they moved hundreds of thousands of residents to more than a dozen counties west of Guangling. This is really funny!

But the emperor's orders must be implemented if you understand them. Even if you don't understand them, you must implement them.

They had no choice but to go down and organize and mobilize the people to evacuate.

Fortunately, Zhang Shizhi was a former minister who was famous all over the world, and Feng Tang was also a well-known and respected celebrity in the southeast.

The local officials, in front of these two big bosses, did not even dare to complain, except to cooperate with the execution cautiously.

It's just the common people who are in some trouble.

The Chinese people have the strongest sentiments about their homeland among all the ethnic groups in the world.
