For example, Luo Shijing had 53,000 acres of cultivated land under his name. However, with Luo Shijing's qualifications, he was not ranked among the greatest powerful men in the Song Dynasty. This shows that the situation of local powerful men was serious.
They plundered and plundered hundreds of thousands of acres of land under their name, stretching for hundreds of miles without end. It can be said that the trouble of land annexation by the powerful and powerful has been from the beginning of the dynasty to the present day. If this trouble is not eliminated, the world will not be at peace."
As soon as Chen Guiyi's words came out, the whole court was in an uproar. All the officials were shocked, and they all talked about it. They also expressed endless contempt and extreme disgust for Chen Guiyi.
Chen Guiyi turned a blind eye to this and stood calmly.
Zhao Yun nodded with a look of approval. This Chen Guiyi is indeed courageous and has the style of a national scholar.
Satisfied, Zhao Yun said again: "What the Qing family said is true. Today's Luo Shijing case is just a microcosm. Are such things rare in the world?
The powerful and powerful people own countless fertile fields and manors, but the common people have no place to stand. Under such circumstances, who can control the power of the powerful? Should we rely on the county magistrate? I am afraid that the county magistrate also needs the help of these powerful people to govern in the state and county."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Yun looked around at the civil and military forces of the court and said: "The local tyrants are inexorably strong. Do you have any ideas to solve this problem?"
All the officials were frightened and surprised. They thought to themselves that the case of a mere actor had implicated local powerful people and powerful people. If they really wanted to deal with powerful people, would they be considered powerful?
When all the officials were frightened, the imperial censor Guo Yingyi came out and said: "Your Majesty, the truth of Luo Shijing's case has been revealed. Luo Shijing was also beheaded, his home was ransacked, and his family was exiled. The punishment was not light, and the grievances of the victim were also redressed. The case
Everyone is happy, so why should the case be spread across the country and implicate that innocent person? There are people in various places who own thousands of acres of fertile land. However, their land is all obtained from legal transactions and has been approved by the court. Why is it happening today?
Has it become a sin?”
After Guo Yingyi finished speaking, officials immediately came out to support him.
Cui Chengdao, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Your Majesty, I think Chen Fuyin's words are wrong. If according to his understanding, if one person commits a crime, other innocent people must be thoroughly investigated? Is it possible that a young man will kill someone someday?
Even if we set fire, we also need to conduct an inventory of young people all over the country?"
"It's very true, whoever commits a crime will be held responsible, why should we expand the situation and make everyone in the world panic?"
"The emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats rule the world together. This has been the truth for thousands of years. How did the local gentry become a powerful force? Although they occupy a large amount of land, they also play a role in the stability of towns, prefectures and counties. Don't we care about everything?
Do you want to knock them down too? Is there such a reason in the world?",,,
Zhao Yun watched with cold eyes, watching these officials jump out one by one, lamenting in his heart, Zhao Yun knew that their vital interests must be involved, otherwise, how could they dare to risk offending themselves and stand up and say such things.
Zhao Yun then looked at Qiao Xingjian, Yuan Shao, Cheng Jue, Zhu Zhu, Wei Liaoweng, Zhen Dexiu, Zhao Shanxiang, Fan Chu, Gou Mengyu and others.
They are the big bosses in the DPRK and China. They haven't expressed their stance yet, so this is interesting.
They didn't speak or stand up to support themselves. Zhao Yun could already guess their thoughts from this.
Even though they are all loyal ministers and loyal to themselves, loyal ministers also have their own family business, and loyal ministers are also members of a big family. Many of them are even officials, not for the dynasty, but for the family.
.
This was also the reason why Zhao Yun did not dare to use them to preside over the reform.
Only Han Hong remained calm, calm and silent. Every time he met Zhao Yun's eyes, he always gave Zhao Yun an encouraging look, allowing Zhao Yun to see hope in the midst of disappointment.
Zhao Yun calmed down his emotions, raised the corners of his mouth, revealed a sneer, and said: "It's been a long time since I heard you discuss a matter so actively in the Qing family. It's rare."
Zhao Yun's words made Cui Cheng, Guo Yingyi and others quiet down, and they did not dare to continue talking because they had already felt the dissatisfaction in Zhao Yun's tone.
Zhao Yun first looked at Guo Yingyi and said: "Guo Qing's family, as the imperial censor, your duty is to correct the emperor's mistakes and supervise the words and deeds of the officials, but I didn't expect that you are so concerned about the annexation of the land.
, I didn’t notice it before.”
Guo Yingyi raised his hand and said calmly: "What I said is all for the sake of our great Song Dynasty. Even if His Majesty is not happy, I will say it."
"Oh, then tell me how many acres you have in your name and how many acres your family has. Don't try to fool me. Answering randomly is the crime of deceiving the emperor and the crime of killing the clan!"
Zhao Yun's words silenced Guo Yingyi. He hesitated and finally said: "I don't know, but my wife takes care of everything in my family. I am dedicated to serving the public and do not dare to be distracted."
"Then do you want me to ask your wife to answer this question?" Zhao Yun looked at him and then asked.
"this,,,"
Guo Yingyi was speechless and returned to the class with her face covered in shame, not daring to say anything more.
Zhao Yun looked at Cui Cheng and other officials again, and seeing their eyes dodge one by one, Zhao Yun said loudly to all the officials in the court: "Food is the most important thing for the people, where does food come from? Of course it comes from the land.
Come on, most of the cultivated land in the Song Dynasty is occupied by powerful people, and the people have no roof over their heads and no place to stand. Do you still think there is no problem with this situation? If you think there is no problem, then I will let you live like this.
Whatever you wish."
Zhao Yun's words were precise and powerful, and no one dared to stand up and answer.
Zhao Yun's eyes were sharp and his expression was solemn, and he said: "The case of Luo Shijing is a glimpse of the leopard. It can be seen that no one like Luo Shijing can control it in the prefectures and counties. This shows that there is a big problem in the land policy of our dynasty. It cannot be done without changing it, and the dynasty cannot be changed."
It is about to be destroyed. If you are still unclear on this big issue of right and wrong, you are the sinners of this dynasty and the people of the world. The history books will not let you go."
All the officials did not dare to look Zhao Yun in the face and lowered their heads one after another.
Immediately, Zhao Yun said: "I have been deeply aware of the dangers of powerful annexation of land, and I am determined to rectify the place and reshape the power of the imperial court in all directions, so that every common person can have a house, a farmer has a field, and the people can be stable.
Then there will be no more civil strife and rebellion, and our Song Dynasty will also be prosperous. This is a strategy to enrich and strengthen the country and the people. If anyone objects, you can stand up and defend me. As long as you can convince me based on the truth of the matter, I will accept it humbly.
Advice.”
Zhao Yun is famous for his sharp mouth. There is currently no one in the court who can beat Zhao Yun in terms of mouth.
