Sima Yao's face darkened: "Why does he have to do these things again? I have courtiers, officials, and guards in the capital. As long as I give a decree, I can inventory the land and hide the things that are hidden by the aristocratic families.

What’s so difficult about re-nationalizing the population?”

Zhi Miaoyin smiled slightly: "Aren't the courtiers and officials all descendants of aristocratic families? Even those loyal ministers you trust most, such as Wang Gong and Yin Zhongkan, are also from aristocratic families. You want them to rebel against their families for your Majesty's sake.

, I am afraid that even these loyal ministers may not be willing to take out the land and population that my family has occupied for decades and dedicate it to His Majesty and hand it over to the country."

Sima Yao gritted his teeth: "If they are loyal ministers, they must take the lead and be loyal to me with practical actions. A while ago, they were enemies of the traitor party, but they risked their lives and wealth, just like Wang Gong, who you have always disliked, in order to advance to the Jin Dynasty

Yang Zhijia, when he led the troops to the capital, also planned it from all sides. If he is not careful, he will be killed and his family will be destroyed. If a person like this is asked to give up some of his family's interests, why would he refuse?"

Zhi Miaoyin shook her head: "Their loyalty to Your Majesty is not just based on loyalty. To put it bluntly, it is driven by interests. Although Wang Gong's family is noble, it has not been able to gain central power for many years, and the Yin family has been suppressed by the Huan family for many years.

In the middle of the road, the two of them are talented, but they are not willing to let the family be suppressed forever, so they choose to be on His Majesty's side and make enemies of the powerful Wang Guobao and others. Once they succeed, the family will take advantage of the opportunity and restore their past glory.

Even if you fail, you can leave behind a reputation as a loyal minister and righteous man. Even if your family declines for a while, your descendants will be able to rise again."

"Wealth and wealth, the children of aristocratic families in the world want to be officials and hold power, in the final analysis, they have two reasons. One is personal reputation, to stay in history, and the other is the interests of the family. They can rely on the power in their hands.

Let the family get more benefits. If they become officials but have to sacrifice the interests of the family, then even if they agree, the people in the family will never allow it. Without the support of the family, what can these people do?

What happened?"

"As for your Majesty's guards, they are originally controlled by major aristocratic families, and their family members and relatives are all in the aristocratic families' estates. If the two sides really are at loggerheads, Your Majesty will use force to forcibly take back the lands and estates of aristocratic families everywhere.

These guards will never obey your orders, and when the time comes, your Majesty's edict will become a piece of paper."

Sima Yao's eyes were red and he said bitterly: "So, it is impossible for me to carry out any edict I want to carry out? Am I just a puppet emperor without Liu Yu?"

Having said this, Sima Yao paused, looked at Liu Yu, and said coldly: "Miaoyin, you said that everyone in this world acts for their own interests. Even Wang and Yin Qing cannot betray their own family and be loyal to their family.

Hey, what about Liu Yu? Can he be more loyal to me than the two of them?"

Zhi Miaoyin shook his head: "Liu Yu may not be really loyal to His Majesty, but he must be loyal to his own ideals. This idea is to expedition to the Central Plains to the north, regain the mountains and rivers, and become famous throughout the world. To realize this ideal, he even risked his life.

It’s okay, just like what he has been showing here these days, doesn’t Your Majesty still understand?”

Sima Yao nodded: "You said Liu Yu could sacrifice everything for the Northern Expedition, I believe it. But what does the matter of taking back the land deed have to do with the Northern Expedition?"

A cold light flashed in Zhi Miaoyin's eyes: "Because Liu Yu now knows that the person who really stopped the Northern Expedition and became the biggest obstacle to his achievements was not the Hulu in the north, but the high-ranking family behind him. The black-hand Qiankun he mentioned

, whether it exists or not, at least one thing is clear, that is, the manpower, food and grass required for the Northern Expedition are controlled by these Jiangnan aristocratic families. Even if His Majesty intends to support Liu Yu's Northern Expedition, he cannot provide him with these resources for the Northern Expedition. Only

Just ask the noble family for it."

Sima Yao's heart stirred: "So he talked about these century-old land deeds before the war just to get me to issue an order to take back these land deeds and return them to the state?"

Zhi Miaoyin nodded: "Yes, he is the only one who has really revealed this secret in the past hundred years. When His Majesty actually executes it, it must be this person. Liu Yu may seem brave and rough, but his thoughts are extremely careful.

He will never do anything uncertain or fight an uncertain battle. If he throws this thing out, he will become an enemy of the whole Jin family. Today he is here, cheered by the civilians and supported by the Beifu army, but he is letting the

The wealthy families are eager to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin, which is the result of this decision."

"Although the Beifu Army was formed by the Xie family, the sergeants were not descendants of the family, but came from the grasslands. Although they received some land and rewards for their military exploits, it was not enough to satisfy them, let alone, even if they became some small

The peasants who own the property will also use various means to rob the aristocratic families and small landowners, and finally become destitute and can only go back to being tenants."

Having said this, Zhi Miaoyin looked at Diao Kui, who was gesticulating and maintaining order in the venue thirty steps away, and the corner of his mouth curled up: "Look at Diao Tingwei, and the establishments like their Diao family."

The ability of casinos to make ordinary people lose everything and finally sell out all their property, you know what the world of Jin's aristocratic families is. Liu Yu exposed this fact today and aroused the anger in the hearts of all ordinary people. If

Now he ascends to a high place and leads the common people to take back what belongs to them, and he must have a lot of followers."

Sima Yao's expression changed: "What do you mean by this? Even if the fields do not belong to the aristocratic family, they should still belong to me. How come they belong to the common people? Do they still belong to them?"

Zhi Miaoyin said calmly: "Of course the land in the world and the land in the world belong to your majesty, but your majesty cannot cultivate the land in the world by yourself. You still have to give the land to the people and let them cultivate it. This is called granting the land to the people and the country's favor from generation to generation, right.

"

Sima Yao's expression softened slightly and nodded: "Yes, that's right. Since it is a national favor, it is my land that is given to the people. However, now these lands are stolen by those aristocratic families, so that these lands

The tenant farmers and common people in the palace only know about noble families and do not know about the emperor of Jin Dynasty, which is really disgusting."

Zhi Miaoyin nodded: "So Liu Yu needs to take back these lands of aristocratic families and return them to Your Majesty, and then Your Majesty can levy taxes on these lands openly. Liu Yu wants to make achievements in the Northern Expedition, and His Majesty also wants to establish your power by taking back the rivers and mountains."

The achievements of an emperor are different from those aristocratic families who just want to live peacefully in the south of the Yangtze River. The reason why Liu Yu broke with the aristocratic family and chose to be loyal to your majesty and would do anything for you is this!"
