Author: Que Nanzhi

It has been three years since Li Ling ascended the throne. Li Ling worked hard to govern. Under his rule, Daqi has gradually got rid of poverty and weakness and began to gradually become prosperous and strong.

These days, Li Ling encountered something troublesome.

Since the founding of the Qi Dynasty, the power of the powerful has been growing day by day. These powerful people are greedy and compete for land. As a result, the common people have no land to cultivate. They can only spend a lot of money to rent land from the powerful people to plant crops. Most of the harvest is stolen by the powerful people.

Even if the weather is good, there will be very few left at the end of the year.

In the past few years, Li Ling had purified the imperial court and vigorously promoted young and promising people. The time was ripe to reform the power of the powerful. Li Ling revised the regulations to strictly prohibit the powerful from enclosing land, but there were many obstacles in the implementation of the law.

Many powerful people would rather sacrifice their lives than their wealth, going so far as to blatantly defy the rules.

This made Li Ling very angry. He issued a strict order to arrest a group of powerful people who still defied the rules, intending to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, but it had little effect.

As twilight fell, Jingshu waited for a long time in Jiaofang Hall for Li Ling to return. She guessed that Li Ling must still be worried about the political affairs of the circle reform. Jingshu went to the kitchen to make some snacks and took them to Qinzheng Hall.

.

As soon as Jing Shu walked to the front of the hall, Li Dequan bowed to greet her and muttered: "Oh, empress, you are here. Your Majesty is worried inside, and he didn't even bother to eat dinner."

, please go in quickly and give me some advice."

Jing Shu said: "No problem! I brought the food." After saying that, she walked into the imperial study room.

Li Ling had always doted on his wife, so naturally he allowed Jingshu to enter and leave the imperial study at will without any communication.

"I heard you didn't even have dinner?"

Li Ling was frowning and writing furiously in front of the imperial case. Suddenly he heard his wife's voice. He raised his head suddenly, and the expression on his face instantly relaxed, and he said: "It's so late, why are you here again?"

"So you also know that it's too late now!" Jing Shu glared at Li Ling, then put the food box she brought on the table in front of the window, turned to Li Ling and said, "Let's eat something first, don't you?

How can my body bear to eat?"

Li Ling put down his imperial pen, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and complained to his wife: "The imperial court has indulged these powerful people for so many years, and they have been raised to be extremely swollen. They are all greedy and insensitive. It is really irritating."

Jing Shu walked behind her husband, raised her hands and gently rubbed Li Ling's shoulders, and persuaded: "It has been more than 300 years since the founding of Da Qi, and the enclosure of land by the powerful has a history of more than 100 years.

Changed.”

Li Ling closed his eyes, enjoying his wife's caress, and murmured: "If the people cannot live a good life, I, the king of the world, will not live in peace."

As he said that, he turned to look at his wife: "Do you still remember what we saw on the road to the south when we were newly married?"

When Li Ling went to southern Xinjiang, Jingshu went with him to his uncle's house in Chaozhou. At that time, the five cities there were occupied by the Gaoshan Kingdom, so they could only take a detour. During the nearly month-long trip, Jingshu met too many people.

The suffering is such that the poor people who do not have enough to eat are willing to sell their children and daughters in order to survive. When passing through remote villages, even tragic scenes of starvation and death are common.

These tragic scenes in the world had shaken Jingshu's heart violently at that time, how could she forget them.

Jing Shu sighed and said: "As a monarch, it is natural to take the people of the world as your own responsibility. Only when the people are rich can the country be strong. My husband has worked hard for the people of the world, and I can also feel it deeply."

Li Ling frowned and replied: "After the founding of the country, the ancestors of the Zhao family were grateful for the hard work and meritorious service of the ministers who accompanied the conquering of the world, so they gave them many privileges. This custom of enclosing land was left from then. Over the past few hundred years, but this

The problem has been left for a long time, and the power of the powerful is huge. Although the previous emperors

I am determined to reform, but I am unable to do so. Although I have issued strict orders, although these powerful people dare not enclosure the land anymore, most of the fertile land is already under their control. If they do not release the land they once enclosure, it will be left to the people for cultivation.

Our land is simply a drop in the bucket.”

Li Ling looked at his wife and said leisurely: "I also know that this matter cannot be rushed, but if we don't use thunderous means, I am afraid that it will be delayed for another ten or eight years and still not be cured."

Mentioning this, Li Ling's face gradually became serious, and he said cruelly: "I plan to take heavy measures to suppress these powerful people. Anyone who dares to openly defy the rules will be beheaded."

"This is too radical." Jingshu looked at her husband and said slowly: "You have just ascended the throne not long ago, and now the Central Committee of the DPRK has decided. The relationships between these powerful people are intricately intertwined. If you are too aggressive and intensify the conflicts, I am afraid it will provoke

Isn’t it more difficult for them to be rebellious?”

Li Ling was naturally concerned about this issue. He sighed slightly when he heard this: "You think the same as me, but if you don't take risks, it will be easy for these powerful people to compromise."

Jing Shu's eyes moved slightly and she suggested: "I have a way."

She looked at Li Ling and said slowly: "What a powerful family cares most about is the future of their children. My husband can take a calming approach and buy an official position."

When Li Ling heard this, he worriedly said: "This is a good idea. It's just that if these powerful children are good, that's all. If they are dandies who don't know how to make progress, they will be mediocre even if they become officials. Isn't the country raising money in vain?"

Got them."

Jing Shu replied: "If it's good, you can use it. If it's not good, you can find a reason to get rid of him after two years. Compared with the large tracts of land that have been released, the salary of these three or two years is nothing."

What? The land has been returned to the hands of the people. By then, it will be too late for them to regret it."

Jing Shu blinked and continued: "There are some of those disciples who really can't be mentioned. If my husband is worried that they will miss their job, he can also reward them with a title. After a few years, he can find a way to take the title back."

After Li Ling heard his wife's words, his eyes lit up, a smile appeared on his face, and he scratched the tip of his wife's nose with his fingers: "You are so cunning! Little villain, your move is quite bad!"

Jing Shu retorted: "Can I be a good emperor if I just keep being a good person?"

Li Ling smiled and nodded, then touched his stomach and said, "I suddenly feel very hungry. What did you bring to eat?"

Jingshu pulled Li Ling to the desk and placed the food in the food box in front of him one by one: "I made them all by myself. They are still hot. Use them quickly."

Li Ling picked up a piece of snack, took a bite, nodded and said, "It's true that your craftsmanship is genuine."

Jing Shu said angrily: "Can I still trick you?"

Li Ling looked at his wife gently and said jokingly: "Someone is cunning and tricked me with the snacks made by others? I just learned a lesson from the experience."

Jing Shu looked at Li Ling and said with a smile: "That was eight hundred years ago. You really hold a grudge."

Li Ling laughed and replied: "Over the years, I can tell the difference in Madam's craftsmanship just by smelling it. No matter how much you try to trick me, you won't be able to do it."

The new article "After giving way to your husband's sweetheart" has been released, welcome to read!

Love watched helplessly as her husband Sima Chao married the princess to fulfill his ambition, and she couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Sima Chao hugged her into his arms and coaxed softly: "Afu, you are the only one in my heart. If you are able to stay in the country, I will definitely set you right."

Love believed him because she was obsessed with him.

It wasn't until Sima Chao killed the flesh and blood of his princess wife that he was about to enter the house with his own hands that Love was awakened: how much sincerity could a man who was cruel to his own children have towards her?

It's just that he is lying and she is obsessed with it.

Love finally saw clearly the person next to her. She was completely heartbroken and died in despair the day before Sima Chao married the princess in glory.

Starting over, Love decided not to make the same mistake again, but when she opened her eyes, she saw the whole house was filled with joy, and she actually returned to her wedding night with Sima Chao.

——

Sima Chao, a great hero of a generation, fought against the princes and unified the world, which was his lifelong ambition. For this reason, he did not hesitate to let down his beloved.

He thought: If she could live in the world, he would give her the highest status in the world, and it would not be too late to slowly repay the deep love he owed her.

Little did they know that it would be hard to get back what was missed. When he turned back to her, she had already turned away.

He won the world and had everything, but he only lost her.

When Sima Chao saw her smiling broadly at the man beside her, he finally became anxious, his eyes turned red, and he regretted it.
