To Rule in a Turbulent World

Chapter 182 Volume 4 Subtracting Word Magnolia

Li Zhifeng shook his head, very puzzled, but finally nodded.

You Miao didn't dare to talk about Zhao Chao's gift of marriage anymore. Anyway, she suppressed this matter. If Li Zhifeng told him, Li Zhifeng would probably break into the palace with a knife. This guy can do anything.

"And this." You Miao took out the official document of the Ministry of War and handed it to Li Zhifeng: "Let you go to suppress the bandits."

Li Zhifeng glanced casually, nodded and said, "Got it."

You Miao added: "It's very difficult to fight the common people."

Li Zhifeng glanced at You Miao, and You Miao said: "They are all Han Chinese. You can kill them like a barbarian. You can't justify it, and you can't do it. You can spare them. They may not be merciful in war, but they will be merciless. Hurting one's own people. It's very difficult to do, think twice before making a move, focus on recruiting and surrendering, and avoid killing indiscriminately."

Li Zhifeng nodded.

The two were silent in the tent, looked at each other for a moment, and You Miao laughed.

Li Zhifeng was puzzled, raised his eyebrows with a questioning look.

You Miao shook his head, Li Zhifeng stretched out a hand towards him, You Miao went over and let him hug, the two cuddled together, and did not speak until it was time to hold the lamp, when the military talisman from the Ministry of War came, Li Zhifeng went to raise money to send troops thing.Write rations, order troops, and issue orders.

On the surface, You Miao is confident, but in her heart she is very worried about Li Zhifeng's expedition. Now she is afraid of civil uprising.What's more, I'm afraid that if the imperial court suppresses it, even the people in southern Yangzhou and Jiaozhou will rebel.He gradually understood why Sun Yu said that this expedition was so important.

To calm down the rogues in the south, it is necessary to exert pressure on the court and the local gentry at the same time. Li Zhifeng went out to fight against the rogues, while You Miao had to fight against all opinions and implement the new law.Supplemented by Zhao Chao's thunderous means, it might be possible to complete the most ruthless transformation in hundreds of years.

Three days later, Li Zhifeng went to the expedition, and Zhao Chao came to see him off in person. The two had a conversation, but You Miao was telling the new army supervisor to thank Quan. The gentry must have children from the Jiangnan family to deal with. You Miao was still not at ease, took Xie Quan's hand and said, "Master Xie, this matter will trouble you."

Xie Quan knew the importance, nodded and said: "Don't worry, Brother You, he will naturally do his best."

You Miao ordered someone to bring the silver and said: "If you want food over there, you can send it in a note in the military newspaper, and I will try to find it."

Xie Quan nodded again and again, and You Miao let him go.

Li Zhifeng's army marched out, although the monarch and his ministers said a lot of things like success, but no one had any lofty ambitions. I'm afraid that after such a move, I don't know how many Han people will die at the hands of their own people.

Who is to blame?No one can blame it.

On the morning of the second day after Li Zhifeng's expedition, You Miao eloquently wrote the memorial, with more than [-] characters, and finally made an attack on the court.

Today, Sun Yu said that he was sick, and You Miao stood alone in the palace, and the entire morning court had become his battlefield.You Miao had been prepared for a long time, and many civil servants were also prepared, and it became a tense situation in an instant.

The Tang family, Xie family, and Lin family in the south of the Yangtze River are all common surnames, accounting for [-]% of the court. The first person to retaliate is Tang Yi. Tang Yi is Tang Bo's distant cousin. Although he belongs to the same generation, he is over forty years old. .Hearing this, he said: "Didn't we have a discussion at the beginning of the year? All that needs to be said has been said. What's the reason for the Zhengshitang to bring up the old things now?"

You Miao said: "At this time, at that time, I didn't know that there would be a severe drought in the south of the Yangtze River before the year."

"But I thought this method was not feasible before the age of [-]." Tang Yu said: "It is still not feasible now. The south is about to enter autumn, and people in Jiangzhou are in panic. The tax was paid once in May, and now they have to divide the land equally. I'm afraid everyone The family is separated, Your Majesty, please think twice."

In the Tang Dynasty, from officials to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, farming, repairing water conservancy, and re-dividing the land had to go through the Ministry of Industry. At this moment, when they objected, the rest of the court echoed.Lin Zhengtao, the supervisor of Yushitai, nodded and said: "Your Majesty, people's hearts are against each other, and it is clear at a glance. The imperial court has sent troops to quell it. The chaos in Jiangzhou is about to be calmed down. We just need to wait for the spring of next year, and everything will be resolved naturally."

You Miao said: "Li Zhifeng has led his troops to go to war, but this matter is related to people's livelihood, and it cannot be suppressed by force. My lords, there was a severe flood last year, and a severe drought this year. If there is another natural disaster next year, how should we deal with it? At this moment, the most critical juncture has come, Tian Qi moved south, the places are unstable, and there are millions of refugees. From last year to this year, the number of refugees who have fled south and have no land to cultivate has reached 70..."

"Because of this." Tang Yu said: "We need stability. Three months ago, Sun Shenzhi was also concerned about this issue. Where is the foundation of Tianqi now..."

"It's about the people." You Miao interrupted without waiting for Tang Yu's words.

With anger on his face, Tang Si said coldly: "It really depends on the people. If land equalization is not implemented, with the strength of the southern aristocratic family, within three to five years, millions of refugees can be slowly digested and engaged in production. You If we rashly equalize the land, it will cost a lot of money from the central budget to the local government, including millions of manpower and material resources, why not wait until the beginning of spring and let the local government handle it?"

"Leave it to the local government to handle it." You Miao said bluntly: "Can it be handled? This year's disaster relief food is the best example. His Majesty has ordered 20 shi of grain collection since July, and it is almost October now. If the law is not changed now, hundreds of thousands of people will starve to death in Yangzhou, Jiangzhou and Liuzhou in winter!"

Lin Zhengtao sneered and said, "I don't know how Mr. You's account is calculated. After the reform of equalizing the fields, will the fields be able to grow rice immediately? Can it be stored for food and drink? The 10 people still have to wait for the beginning of spring , to fill your stomach?"

You Miao: "Of course rice cannot grow in the fields right away, but the people's hearts will soon return to stability. What the refugees want is just arable land, a mouthful of food to eat, and once the reform is announced, the turmoil in various places will break down on its own. Dial it down and go to the disaster relief..."

Tang Yu said: "Your Excellency, you want to go to their fields, and at the same time let the famous families open warehouses for disaster relief. This idea is really good. I will ask you to go and persuade them in person."

You Miao secretly thought that these two guys are really treacherous and cunning, and they are not comparable to Tang Bo and others in the Political Affairs Hall.As a young man in his twenties, he is not worthy enough to stand in the court.

Zhao Chao didn't know how to intervene for a moment, and looked at Xie Hui, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Xie Hui had never said anything to agree with Tang Mi and Lin Zhengtao, and remained silent all the time. At this moment, he raised his head nervously and looked at Zhao Chao.
