Chapter 1168 turbulent situation(1/3)
"Jia Ping'an is a great enemy of our gentry."
The Wang family is finished.
Cui Jing convened people to discuss matters.
"The new learning has made the classics of the gentry a laughing stock."
After losing the monopoly of high-end education, the foundation of the gentry was shaken.
"What do he want to do now? He wants to clear the Hidden Field and Hidden House." Cui Jing said in a calm tone, "What did our gentry become if we lose Hidden Field and Hidden House?"
After the monopoly of high-end education and population, the gentry only had themselves left.
"I seem to see the moment when the gentry collapsed." Cui Jing glanced at the representative of the Cui clan of Boling, "What can the gentry who only people can do?"
Nothing can be done.
Cui Chen said: "We are ready. All families have provided manpower. Now Chang'an is full of calls to attack Jia Ping'an. Those powerful and high-ranking officials also have hidden fields and hidden households, and the big families in various places have these, and they will not sit idly by. If the emperor faces such pressure, if he dares to take risks, what else can he say?"
Everyone laughed.
That smile was cold.
...
The temperature in Chang'an is very high.
"Madam, Cao Er went to buy it in the morning, and was scolded and almost attacked."
Wei Wushuang got bad news early in the morning.
"Why do you do it?" Wei Wushuang put down his account book.
Yun Zhang said: "Those people scolded and said that the husband was a wolf's ambition, and said that they were hiding the fields and hidden houses."
Su He is here.
"Originally, someone invited Doudou to play today, but the man repented and said that he would be messy about cutting off his robe with Doudou in the future."
Wei Wushuang said lightly: "Our family only has two farms. The people in the farm can see at a glance. In addition to eating from their own home, all the food they planted was donated to the Yangjianyuan."
Yun Zhang said: "Madam, the husband brought down all the relatives and family of Cui's family in Qinghe in Beizhou. Those people said that the husband wanted to be the emperor's hawk and offend all the people in the world."
Su He sneered, "Why is no one telling the story of killing the Hidden House? The Wang family was destroyed but they all came out one after another. In a word, they were guilty of being a thief..."
Yun Zhang smiled bitterly, "Madam, this matter is big or small, and the husband did not send a letter..."
"Because he trusts his family."
Wei Wushuang said: "The Jia family has two farms..."
...
"Jia Ping'an in Beizhou is like a mad dog, and Cui's side is furious..."
Lu Shunzai thought this was really weird. "The things about Hidden Field and Hidden House have been around since ancient times. What did he, Jia Ping'an, want to do? Innovate and unconventional?"
Lu Shungui said quietly: "With the hidden land and hidden houses, the gentry made the emperor afraid. With the hidden land and hidden houses, the taxes of the Ministry of Revenue will only decrease and decrease... In the end, there is no money or grain available in the court. What do you think?"
Lu Shunzai subconsciously said, "What does that have to do with us?"
Lu Shungui said lightly: "If you weren't my brother, a cup of tea would be your farewell at this moment!"
A cup of tea was poured on the ground by Lu Shungui.
Only then did Lu Shunzai remember the uniqueness of this brother back then and said embarrassedly: "Now the call for the attack on Jia family in Chang'an is getting higher and higher. Jia family stays in the door, which shows guilt..."
Lu Shungui sneered, "When Jia Ping'an led the army to fight, you were still reciting poems and essays, and talking loudly."
"Alang!"
Lu Shungui's old servant came in, "Someone from the Jia family went to the Ministry of Revenue, saying that the Jia family had only two small farms, and now they were all handed over to the Ministry of Revenue... The officials of the Ministry of Revenue are going crazy."
"Well……"
Lu Shungui was stunned.
"Returning back to the fields...isn't that the emperor's reward?"
"Yes, the people of Jia family said that Zhao Duke has a salary, enough for the family to spend money, and asking for land is just a icing on the cake. But many people in the people struggle to cultivate without land... The icing on the cake of Jia family is a timely help from others. In this way, what face does Jia have to keep those fields? All of them are paid."
Lu Shungui: "..."
After a long time, he said, "This is a fireworks cut from the bottom of the pot!"
...
The emperor and the empress also received news.
"The lady of Ping An is indeed decisive in killing and decisively. When encountering such a thing, she did not mean asking for help everywhere, but taking action decisively..." Empress Wu smiled very contemptuously, "The icing on the cake of Jia's family is the help of the people. Who is shameless? Who dares to stand up and be indignant?"
The emperor said lightly: "This is a public opinion war."
Empress Wu was puzzled.
"This is what your brother taught Goro." The emperor said quietly: "I am thinking... what will happen to those ministers in a hundred years when facing an emperor like Goro? Do you want to vomit blood?"
An emperor who is proficient in public opinion warfare, an emperor who sits on the side of the people...
Wang Zhongliang felt that the situation was about to change.
...
The troubles in Chang'an City seemed to have been pressed by someone, but they became quiet all of a sudden.
Du He brought his men back from the Ministry of Revenue and was blocked on the road.
"Who is shameless?"
"I'm not able to eat enough food at home. I wish I could knock on my bones and suck the marrow and squeeze the people dry. If I have the ability, I'll come to Yeye's forehead."
More than ten furious men in front of him avoided silently.
Is this so powerful?
He found that the people were all looking at their backs, so he looked back.
A team of cavalry was watching the men.
"drive!"
The cavalry headed towards the city gate.
Someone said, "This is the direction to Hebei Road."
Then a thunder bombarded.
In the court, the emperor appeared for a long time.
"I feel uneasy when I heard that Yinhu was beaten to death and no one was involved in it. Yinhu was also a commoner in the Tang Dynasty, so why should I suffer from this? "
The emperor's eyes were bright, and he was a rare sharp one.
"From today, when the family is hidden, you can re-register and become a good citizen. You can be granted land and join the army!"
Chang'an City was stunned by this thunderclap.
Jia family and Wei Wushuang's mother were nagging.
"Look at you, it seems to be outraged when you hand over the land to the Ministry of Revenue, but many people outside hate you so much. The emperor didn't say anything, just watched Jia push in front..."
"lady."
Yun Zhang came in and said with a serious expression: "Your Majesty has just issued an edict. From today on, hidden households in the world can re-register, be good people, and share the land..."
I don’t know how many people are cursing and scolding in Chang’an City.
"That man should have died long ago!"
"The disease didn't even happen. If you say the tumor, then it will explode!"
"He is going to cut off our roots!"
This is a group of people cursing the emperor.
Someone said, "But the sound of long live in Chang'an City resounded through the sky! The emperor's prestige has never been so high. I heard the people in the East City say that as long as the emperor calls him, no matter where he goes, he will go wherever the emperor wants to move the emperor, and he will fight with whoever he wants to move the emperor."
...
Hebei Road was shocked.
This is the base camp of the gentry, and there are dozens of gentry families of all sizes.
"After the Hu people heading south, the Hebei gentry took office. It was not because they didn't want to run away, but because they couldn't run away." Jia Ping'an analyzed the situation of the Hebei gentry.
"Hebei gentry was not prominent during the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The truly prominent gentry all followed the Sima family south. What was the Hebei gentry going? Are they excluded?"
Jia Ping'an smiled and said, "But the gentry and the Sima family are all muddy. As a result, the Hu people in the north have become bigger and bigger, so the Hebei gentry who became a member of the Hu people became more and more powerful... If the Sima family could counterattack at that time, then the Hebei gentry will be a dog that falls into the water today, and everyone will shout to beat him. But in the end, it is... the prince, don't sneer."
Li Hong couldn't help but curl his lips, "Uncle, what you said... My family is also a Hu person."
"Let's just let's go." Jia Ping'an said: "Hebei gentry relied on the Hu people to become prominent in the world. Their abilities are naturally first-class in the world, but their appearance of holding orthodox brands makes people gimmick."
Li Hong didn't want to talk to him, so he changed the topic, "Uncle, Cui's hidden house is not easy to deal with. Those people are now gathering in Qinghe. If they forcefully take action to investigate hidden houses and hidden fields, Beizhou will be in chaos, and Hebei Road will be in chaos if they are not properly done."
