Invincible Emperor Summoning System
Chapter 820 Land Issues (2)
The land issue is a complex issue.
Once it is dealt with, it will cause the resistance of countless powerful people, which is their foundation.
But... For Yue Chen, the fundamentals of the powerful have already been touched once.
The implementation of the imperial examination has completely shaken the foundation of the powerful, but what about the powerful?
Do they dare to resist? Who dares!
In the history of China, every generation of founding emperors was able to succeed no matter what strategy they implemented.
Why? Because they hold the most powerful army.
But now, Yue Chen is a hundred times more powerful than those founding emperors.
Even if the rich and powerful rebel, can he compete with a pro-guard?
That Zhang Quangui was the Jiedu envoy, but Yue Chen only needed to send a bodyguard to arrest him easily.
In addition, the imperial examination is going on all the time, Yue Chen doesn't have to worry about no one being an official.
Wei Zhongxian entered the door and bowed to Yue Chen: "Your Majesty, my lords seek to see you."
Yue Chen waved to Li Xingshan and said, "Go out first."
Zhang Zhongjing on the side also bowed and said: "The minister also resigns."
He doesn't understand politics, and he doesn't like to participate in politics. It happened that Li Xingshan's medical skills attracted Zhang Zhongjing. He wanted to go back as soon as possible to discuss medical skills with him and make an upgraded version of Huichun Pill.
Afterwards, led by Xiao He and Xun Yu, he brought Shen Wanshan and Hu Bu into Yue Chen's study.
Yue Chen said to Wei Zhongxian: "Have you found out?"
Wei Zhongxian paid homage: "Your Majesty, those registered under Zhang Gong's name have a total of 13,000 mu of fertile land and 40,000 mu of middle land."
Yue Chen sneered and said, "All my lords, have you seen it? This is my servant."
Xun Yu bowed: "Your Majesty, the matter of land has existed since ancient times. If Your Majesty wants to deal with it, it will involve more than 80% of the officials in Yue Kingdom. Please be careful, Your Majesty."
Yue Chen sneered and said, "Hehehe, it seems that everyone likes to play this trick."
Xun Yu said: "Not all of them, some people's land was purchased with their money."
Yue Chen slapped the table with his right hand and said, "What kind of land do they want when they enter the court as officials? Do they have time to farm?"
Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to answer Yue Chen.
His majesty is jealous, but he is also very smart, and he can quickly realize what he wants to say.
Sure enough, after Yue Chen vented his anger, he said: "My lords, I feel that it is superfluous for the rich and powerful to control the land, and the land should be in the hands of the common people."
Behind Shen Wanshan, a middle-aged courtier bowed, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
"Oh, Liu Qing, tell me." Yue Chen said, this is a fifth-rank official from the Ministry of Industry, named Liu Lang.
Liu Lang said: "If the land is in the hands of the common people, we are afraid that the country will be in trouble, and the unruly people will take the opportunity to sell grain and raise the price of grain. If it is in the hands of officials, they will not dare to disobey His Majesty, so that is how much His Majesty says. "
Yue Chen squinted at Liu Lang.
This was the first time Liu Lang had a conversation with Yue Chen. Being stared at by Yue Chen, he lowered his head, sweating involuntarily.
Xiao He and the others at the side looked at Liu Lang as if they were looking at a dead person.
There was silence in the whole study, only the sound of Liu Lang panting loudly.
Unable to bear the pressure, Liu Lang fell to his knees on the ground with a "plop", and said: "Your Majesty, I serve the country wholeheartedly, and the world can learn from it. Please be aware of it."
Yue Chen sneered, and said: "You said, officials dare not raise the price of grain? Could it be that officials sell directly to the people? Isn't their grain sold to middlemen?"
Liu Lang said in a low voice, "If I'm a minister, I'll hand it over to a charity merchant to sell."
Yue Chen was furious, and slammed the cup in his hand on Liu Lang's forehead.
Liu Lang was knocked to the ground, his head was bleeding.
Yue Chen sneered: "Correct business? Ha ha ha, good business."
As the emperor, Yue Chen can't say such things as no business and no adultery, otherwise people who try to figure out the spirit of Yue Chen's speech will think that Yue Chen intends to suppress businessmen, which is not good for the country.
Yue Chen waved his hand and said, "I don't want to see this kind of idiot anymore."
"Your Majesty, I made a mistake, please forgive me." Liu Lang said loudly.
But a guard entered the hall and forced Liu Lang to leave.
A senior member of the fifth rank, who possessed great power, is now gone.
The rest of the officials felt sorry for each other, they lowered their heads and dared not look at Yue Chen.
Yue Chen said indifferently: "What I hope is that you will do things for me, for the country. Instead of treating me as a fool."
Shen Wanshan knelt in front of Yue Chen, and said: "Your Majesty, it's my subordinates who don't know who they are, please forgive me."
Yue Chen said lightly: "Why is this person able to be a fifth-rank official?"
Shen Wanshan said: "This person has never shown such character before, but his ability is quite good."
Yue Chen said lightly: "Since there is no problem with the promotion procedure, I won't pursue it anymore, please get up."
It is also impossible for Yue Chen to make sure that all the selected people are gentlemen who serve the country and the people, that is unrealistic.
A villain can, but he can't do bad things, and he can hold back even if he wants to do bad things.
Yue Chen said indifferently: "Wei Zhongxian, go and check Liu Lang, whether he and his family have done anything to oppress the common people, if so, hand it over to the Department of Zhenlu to deal with it according to the law."
"Yes!" Wei Zhongxian said.
Many people became even more terrified. Yue Chen actually asked Xichang to investigate. You must know that recently, Xichang has not been directly involved in the case, but exists as a surveillance department.
If something about Liu Lang is found out, it will not only be unlucky for Liu Lang's family, but even the Zhen Law Department will be implicated due to insufficient inspection.
My Majesty really has zero tolerance for crimes.
Yue Chen said lightly: "Okay, let's continue talking about the land."
Xun Yu bowed and said, "Your Majesty must have an idea."
"That's right!" Yue Chen said indifferently, "I plan to take the land as state-owned, divide the land according to the number of young and old people in each family, prohibit land trading, and let the common people have land to cultivate.
Not only the plowing fields, but even the forest orchards are all like this. "
Xiao He bowed and said: "Your Majesty, most of the land is now in the hands of the dignitaries. Your Majesty's move may arouse the people below to resist bravely."
Yue Chen sneered and said, "My scientific research has been carried out, are you still afraid of their resistance?"
Xiao Hedao: "Your Majesty, although the scientific examination has touched the cake of the powerful, it has not cut off their hope. For the powerful, their resources still have an advantage, and they can better cultivate their offspring. The advantage in the scientific examination Still big.
But the land is their wealth, once they move it, they will directly take their wealth.
In other words, touching wealth is like killing one's parents... Your Majesty must not ignore it. "
Yue Chen thought about it, and Xiao He's words made sense.
At the beginning, when the local tyrants were beaten and the land was divided, all the local tyrants were knocked down, or even shot, before the common people were given the land.
I can't kill all the rich and powerful.
There may not be many civil and military officials left in the Manchu Dynasty.
