Chapter seven hundred and ninety fourth land resumption storm
At the end of March in the third year of Dali.
King Wu Xin of Li, who had been on the Northern Expedition for many months, finally returned to Li Capital.
Taking advantage of the Grand Canal waterway, the returning troops could arrive in half a month at the earliest, but it took a full month to travel.
Led by Queen Changsun, the four kings, three princes and nine ministers, including civil and military officials from the country, as well as representatives of many forces, gathered at the port. The procession stretched for dozens of miles, and there were huge crowds of people to welcome the triumphant return of the army.
When the fleet arrived, there was a roar like waves and a roar that shook the sky, and the whole city celebrated.
This is a solemn treatment only for the winner.
King Li Wuxin, Queen Changsun and Concubine Wei, sat together in Wangluan, led the Imperial Guard Xinwuwei back to the palace, while the soldiers returned to the military camp or various departments to sign in and report their duties.
"My king, this time I made my own decision and acted recklessly. Please punish me, my king!"
In the luxurious and comfortable Luan Jia, Wu Xing just stretched out his waist comfortably and lay down on the soft couch, but Queen Changsun prostrated herself and begged for mercy.
"Wugou, why is this? Gu's response, isn't it already expressed? Wugou has both merit and demerit, great merit! Get up quickly..."
Wu Xin waved his hand lazily and responded angrily.
Not to mention Li Wang Wuxin's response to the joint memorial of all ministers half a month ago, just the fact that the triumphal army has not returned until now is enough to explain a lot of problems!
In just over half a month, the impact was huge.
At this time, the land requisition storm has swept through most of the Li country and has become an uncontrollable trend.
Of course, since Li Wang Wuxin responded, various forces no longer "donated for free", and the Li Kingdom gave back wealth and merits, etc., thus giving birth to a large number of lords.
According to Li Wang Wuxin's original intention, he wanted to re-activate the titles of duke, marquis, uncle, son and male that were abolished by the civil and military emperor Yang Guang, instead of just the three-level titles of prince, duke and marquis.
Of course, this title system needs to be officially implemented when the country is promoted, so a large number of nobles born currently have no titles or titles for the time being.
According to the wishes of King Li Wuxin and Ce Tianfu, Queen Changsun issued a stern edict to announce to the world:
At this time of national crisis when food is scarce, no individual may own more than one hectare of farmland, otherwise he will be punished for treason. Those with rich farmland can exchange for military merit, and each hectare of farmland will equal the military merit of killing one enemy soldier.
This decree is somewhat similar to Wu Xin's land equalization system in his previous life, but it is much looser.
The grievances of the aristocratic sects and the birth of a large number of nobles created a lot of hidden dangers for Li Guo. However, this decree had to be carried out. Even if it was an expedient measure, drinking poison to quench thirst, Li Guo's court recognized it.
There is no way. Although the farmland is in the hands of aristocratic families, it will not be completely abandoned. However, in this war-torn world, many forces have land but no one. There are too few cultivated lands and too much waste. This is also the reason for the various forces.
, one of the main reasons for being willing to exchange land for merit.
In this regard, Wu Xin underestimated the deterrence of Li Guo. In other words, he underestimated the deterrence of the overlord in troubled times.
Wu Xin had thought about clearing the land and reclaiming the land before. However, the power of the family sect was too strong, and now Li Guo could not withstand too much trouble, so Wu Xin could not make up his mind.
This time, Changsun Wugao took advantage of "Webster's incident" and used it as a pretext, but the execution was quite smooth and did not cause too much riot.
First, the Liguo court did not take the land for free. Landowners could exchange their land for merit or wealth. As long as they did not have ulterior motives, it was not a loss.
Secondly, the Liguo court did not accept all the land. Each person was allowed one hectare, which was quite a lot. He was still a small landowner.
Thirdly, the Liguo court was facing a great victory and the power of unification, so many forces did not dare to rebel after all.
Fourth, this is an imperial edict, not an imperial edict. Some landowners are still lucky and unable to make up their minds.
fifth……
Many factors led to the "land resumption storm", which Wu Xin and countless people unexpectedly successfully implemented.
Of course, numerous small conflicts also broke out, causing countless bloody incidents, but they were quickly suppressed by the Shadow Mansion and the God and Demon Mansion, without forming a large-scale chain reaction.
"Wugou has done a great job this time, what reward do you want?!"
Wu Xin waved to his eldest grandson Wugu, holding him in his arms with love and joy, and asked sincerely.
The birth of a large number of lords is also a huge hidden danger, but it is a helpless move, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. However, Queen Changsun took the blame for King Li Wuxin, and Wuxin really wanted to make amends.
"I am the mother of the country. What kind of reward do I need for my duties? Do I need a higher position?"
Changsun Wugou rolled his eyes angrily and responded naturally, which made Wu Xin peck him even more lovingly.
"My concubine is guilty, please punish me, my king!"
Seeing Wu Xin and the eldest grandson Wugao being so intimate, the imperial concubine Wei Gui's beautiful eyes turned red, and she fell down in confusion and wanted to cry.
"Ping Sheng, I don't care about my concubine's affairs, so don't think too much about it!" Wu Xin sighed secretly and comforted her softly.
The main reason why Wei Chen collaborated with the enemy was because Wei Xiaokuan was a Taiwei and knew the tactics of the Li army. Otherwise, how could Wei Chen know about it? Wei Xiaokuan is naturally also responsible.
Not only did Wei Shi donate all the grain, farmland, etc., Wei Xiaokuan also took the blame and resigned. Now he has resigned from the position of "Taiwei". Queen Changsun accepted it, but she did not have the power to imprison him.
However, since King Li had not yet returned to the court, Wei Xiaokuan was still in charge of all affairs of the Taiwei.
Wei Gui did not stand up, tears fell like jade, Chu Chu pitifully took the opportunity to explore:
"My king, what about my grandfather...My grandfather is loyal to Li Guo and my king. This time, the descendants are unfilial. I can swear an oath and guarantee it with my life!"
"I pondered this point deeply when I was returning home..."
Wu Xin knew what Wei Gui meant, so he decided to reveal the point and prepare the civil and military ministers mentally in advance. He responded slowly and then continued:
"Li Guo can be what it is today because of the contributions of all the civil and military officials. Those who are alone are not cunning rabbits and are cooked by lackeys. Their merits will be remembered and their flaws will not be covered up. However, important positions are not suitable for one person to hold the position for a long time, as they are prone to change. Again.
And the most important point is that talented people have emerged from generation to generation, and each has led the way for decades! Gu Xun thought, it is time to give some opportunities to the new generation of heroes. In this way, the older generation can concentrate on pursuing the great road, so as not to be
There are too many worldly affairs involved..."
What Wu Xin said was indeed carefully considered.
This is a world of high martial arts. The higher the level of cultivation, the longer the lifespan. However, a longer lifespan will not affect the growth and birth of a new generation of geniuses.
How to properly accommodate the older generation and the new generation is indeed a big problem.
For example, the Sangong and Jiuqing used to have a shortage of talents from the country, so they could only plan to invite Wei Xiaokuan, Changsun Zhi and other talented people from the older generation. However, this is not their era after all. The continuation of dynasties cannot be interrupted, and the glory of the new generation cannot be covered up.
In addition, the farmland was returned to the imperial court, but a lot of literary work was needed to implement it in order to maximize the effects of farmland.
Literary cultivation is extremely difficult and cannot be practiced by anyone. Most of them are in aristocratic sects, so Wu Xin must be more cautious.
This is also one of the main reasons why Wu Xin did not forcefully take over the land and still treated the aristocratic clans well. (To be continued.)
