The aristocratic families and powerful people have countless money and food, and their population is also countless...

What is the support behind all these seemingly powerful things?

Network!

Over hundreds or even thousands of years, they used marriage and other means to extend the family's roots outward and closely connect them with other families.

This is called alliance.

When people are fine, they can't cut off chicken heads and burn yellow paper for fun, right?

The purpose of alliance is profit.

Everyone joins forces to reap the benefits.

Moreover, after joining forces, the higher-ups have to be a little wary if they want to touch us.

These roots of family units spread underground to every corner of the Tang Dynasty.

From temples to rivers and lakes, their roots are everywhere.

It's like the spider webs formed a huge network, and the emperor was trapped in the middle. Each spider stared at the blood-red eyes and gnawed at the Tang Dynasty's body. The emperor was trapped in the middle.

If you struggle occasionally, you will be suppressed.

There have been countless emperors' coups in history, but the final results were not satisfactory.

Some emperors fell into the water inexplicably, some emperors died of illness inexplicably, some emperors died inexplicably... on the dragon bed, some emperors led armies on expeditions, but were deprived of food and grass inexplicably...

The vastness of this network frightened the emperor.

With the lessons learned from those emperors, the subsequent emperors were all very well-behaved. Even if they wanted to make a career, they would still negotiate with those spiders...

At the beginning of the founding of the country, the land was vast and sparsely populated. Even if it was eaten by spiders, the dynasty still had excess resources to feed the people.

The people had filled their stomachs and shouted for prosperity.

This is why the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China are often known as the prosperous times.

In the middle and late stages, there is less land and more people, and the appetites of the rich and powerful are getting bigger and bigger. But there are only so many resources, what to do? They will take it from the hands of the people.

As a result, the people were displaced.

Then there is the well-known routine: the people are in dire straits, and the people rise up in rebellion!

There is internal chaos, and foreign enemies take advantage of the situation to invade...

The killing was full of heads, and the killing area was vast and sparsely populated.

Well, the foundation for a prosperous age has been laid once again.

"...This is reincarnation, a reincarnation created with the flesh and blood of people. As a father, I want to stop this reincarnation."

The emperor and his son were walking in the palace.

Qin Ze followed with his people from a distance, not daring to listen to what the supreme being said.

Ah Liang asked: "Ah Ye, then...can't those people be less greedy?"

"The human heart!" The emperor pointed to his chest, "It's a bottomless pit. Ah Liang, you have to remember that the human heart is never satisfied." "Does that mean the human heart has no end?"

"Yes. Just like Yang Songcheng, the Yang family in Yingchuan has been inherited for thousands of years and has continued wealth. Is that enough?"

"That's enough.,

"But the Yang family still colluded with Li Mi, who was still a member of the clan, and wanted to obtain greater benefits through speculation. The Yang family even turned her family into a descendant clan by marrying off her daughter. Yang Songcheng transformed into a father-in-law. After his death,

A bunch of thugs. That should be enough, right?"

"Well...that's enough!" Ah Liang felt that it was enough.

"But Yang Songcheng was ambitious and wanted to go further. Li Mi was luring the wolf into the house. He wanted to kill the wolf, but he found that what he was holding was a hemp pole.

The emperor smiled and said: "When Yang Songcheng's power was at its most powerful, he could compete with the false emperor Li Mi. If there are no subsequent changes, after Li Mi, the Li family's empire will inevitably end and be replaced by the Yang family's empire."

"The human heart... is so scary!" A Liang shook his head.

"Therefore, as an emperor, you must know your boundaries and let your ministers and forces know your boundaries. If anyone takes a step beyond the realm of possibility, don't hesitate and take action immediately!

The emperor looked at his son, "A Liang, you have to remember, rules are rules."

"Yes!" A Liang nodded vigorously.

"His Majesty!"

Wang Laoer trotted over, "They're setting off."

"good!"

The emperor waved, "Where's the dried meat?"

"Yes!"

"Let's have some fun, Ah Liang, do you want it?"

"want!"

The three of them squatted beside them and chewed dried meat.

"Your wife is not pregnant yet?" the emperor asked.

"I didn't ask." Wang Laoer said carelessly.

"Did Mr. Tu not rush you?"

"Urgent, I said if you keep urging me, I will go to Northern Xinjiang."

「」

In the distance, several maids said: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, and General Wang must be discussing state affairs!" "Well! Your Majesty is diligent in his work..."

More than ten riders galloped all the way and arrived at Zhangzhou.

Yan Wei, the governor of Zhangzhou, led his people to greet the envoy.

The messenger is a chamberlain.

"Your Majesty has ordered a census of the population in various places. Anyone who violates the law and becomes a slave will be expatriated." The envoy looked at Yan Wei and others and said solemnly: "Your Majesty has said that officials in various places must stand in the right place. Anyone who violates the law will be punished.

Those powerful and powerful people are working hard for women to protect them... The official system of the world has been in disrepair for many years, and Your Majesty is short of manpower."

Yan Wei was shocked, "But...but what if the local powerful families cause trouble?"

A population census means cutting off the roots of those people, right?

Are those people bad?

Once you take action, everything will be shaken!

The messenger laughed, and the chamberlain's characteristic shrill laughter echoed outside the lobby.

"Rebellion? His Majesty said that he would build a palace under the throne, but now he is short of heads!"

The messenger had to continue delivering orders, asked for dry food, and then left.

Yan Wei said with a livid face: "Your Majesty is far away in Chang'an, but you don't know how ruthless those powerful families are. Whoever touches their roots, not even Ye Niang can do it!"

Someone said: "Your Majesty, let's..."

"The decree has been issued. If it doesn't move, Your Majesty will move me!"

Yan Wei gritted his teeth and said, "Send people to various powerful families in Zhangzhou to tell them to clean up their families. Just say...if they don't clean up, I will bring people to clean up."

The officials who left were as heroic as if they were gone forever.

A few days later, feedback came from everywhere...

"The Chen family is making a fuss, saying that the emperor is stupid..."

"The Sun family said this is ***."

"Where's Ding?" Yan Wei asked.

The Ding family is the largest clan in Zhangzhou, with the largest population, the most fields, the most money and food, and the most connections.

Known as Ding Siduo.

The official who went to Ding's family came back with bruises on his cheeks. He became angry and said: "Your Majesty, Ding Fan slapped the official several times and said that this was a disorderly life. If the government forces Ding, Ding will seek justice for herself.

.”

"This is rebellion!"

someone exclaimed.

"what to do?"

"The Ding family has such a large population, they can form a big army when gathered together!"

Yan Wei said anxiously: "We are all thinking of ways."

"Your Majesty, the best we can do is defend the city. I'm afraid everything outside the city will be lost."

An air of depression enveloped Zhouse.
