"Hey, tell me, Your Majesty, is he confused? How can he do such a thankless thing?"
Following Liu Hongji's resentful muttering, Xiao Han's body shook violently! It was as if he suddenly saw the heavy burden on Xiao Lizi's body.
Even old people like Liu Hongji, who were involved in the uprising, are so resistant to the land being returned to the public, let alone others.
"Your Majesty, he...hey!"
Sighing slowly, Xiao Han didn't know whether he was sighing for Xiao Lizi or for those landlords from aristocratic families.
As a later person, he knew and understood why Li Shimin was willing to risk the disapproval of the world and forcefully take back the land in Shandong.
Without it, he just wanted to break out of the strange circle of one dynasty lasting hundreds of years, so that the Tang Dynasty could be passed down for hundreds of generations, and it would last for thousands of years!
Looking at the history of China, excluding the Shang and Zhou dynasties that cannot be studied, the other dynasties from Qin to Han, no matter which dynasty, lasted only more than 200 years!
This is only counting the Tang Dynasty.
If we calculate the era when Xiao Han lived, we can see more clearly
China's feudal dynasties all have a limit of three hundred years. No dynasty has ever existed for more than three hundred years!
It is true that the decline of a dynasty is caused by many things. The three-hundred-year cycle is not entirely caused by the land!
But here, the relationship between land and people is definitely the most important issue that cannot be ignored!
There is no way, the Chinese people's enthusiasm for the land has almost been engraved in their lives.
In the countryside, if people from the same village are friends and neighbors, and if we have a good relationship, they can come to my house to eat and drink, and even take food and take it away, this is not a problem!
But if you want to occupy more of my land? I'm sorry, then our friendship is over! Maybe, we will become unrelenting enemies!
In this day and age, if your family has a lot of money? Then when others see you, they will give you a thumbs up and say you are awesome! It is indeed awesome!
And if your family has thousands of hectares of fertile land, let alone others, even the local magistrate will have to pay homage to you in person!
Therefore, because of the morbid obsession with land, whenever a dynasty flourishes, a large amount of land will be bought by the rich!
Later, as land annexation became more serious, more and more people lost their land, and the gap between the rich and the poor became wider and wider.
In the end, a large number of landless people had no food to eat and could no longer survive, so they could only raise their arms and raise the banner of rebellion!
As a result, the originally powerful dynasty collapsed, and the powerful class was purged! A large amount of land once again returned to a state of ownerlessness.
And then, with the rise of the new rich, reincarnation begins again.
Obviously, Li Shimin saw this strange circle, so he was thinking of ways to break it.
As for the method to be used, it is to return the land to the public! This is a powerful tool that can cut off the possibility of land annexation from the source!
"Hey, he has a reason to do this! Isn't it just a little bit of land? Is your family living on that land, or is my family living on that land? Besides, when that day comes, I don't think the court will either
The land will be taken away for free, why don’t you just pay more for it?”
There was no way to explain these dynasty changes to Liu Hongji, so Xiao Han could only try to use lighter topics to obscure the matter.
After all, in Xiao Han's heart, he still supports Li Shimin
!
He truly wants from the bottom of his heart to make the city of Chang'an truly peaceful and stable as its name suggests!
"What you said is very light. How much compensation do you want? What kind of compensation do you want? Gold, silver and jewelry?"
Seeing that Xiao Han was unwilling to criticize the emperor's "mistakes", Liu Hongji glared at him dissatisfied and snorted, "Do you think those things are useless? Where can I get real land? This is a family property left to future generations! Can it be done?"
Is it comparable to some tattered pearls and jade?”
Naturally, Xiao Han was not one to take advantage of his words. After hearing this, he immediately replied, "Humph, if you give birth to a prodigal son, even if you give him all the land in the world, he will still destroy you!"
"Prodigal son?" Hearing this, Liu Hongji was immediately happy! He looked Xiao Han up and down, and then he said in a loud voice, "If my son is a prodigal son, how can he be as prodigal as you? Don't forget, the whole Changan City knows that,
You are the biggest loser in the world!"
"I am a prodigal? I am a prodigal, so where did the Xiao family's huge fortune come from?
"I don't know about that. Anyway, if you go to Chang'an and ask around, who doesn't know that you're a prodigal?"
On the dusty loess ancient road, the laughter and curses of Xiao Han and Liu Hongji flew far into the sky along with the rising smoke.
At the same time, in Jinan, Ma Zhou's stinky face, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years, finally changed its color.
"Sir, it's been all morning, and still no one has come to pay the land deed!"
In the Yamen of the Governor's Mansion, Ma Zhou was dressed in a crimson official robe and sat upright behind the publican. In front of him was the open door of the Yamen and the wooden box placed in the middle of the door.
That's the box Ma Zhou prepared to use to hold the land deeds!
Just a few days ago, the moment Ma Zhougang received Li Shimin's imperial edict, seeing that his dream for many years finally came true, even as old-fashioned as he was, he couldn't help but burst into tears!
Ma Zhou was born into a poor family. He was looked down upon and bullied in his childhood. This caused his personality to undergo earth-shaking changes since he was a child. He became taciturn, withdrawn and even accepted death!
Others despised the poor and loved the rich, but Ma Zhou did the opposite. He always despised the rich and loved the poor! Especially when he saw the common people living at the bottom, Ma Zhou would always see the shadow of his childhood in them.
!
Perhaps it is just like what people in the future say, because I have been caught in the rain, so I want to hold an umbrella for the people who come after me!
Ma Zhou has basically done only one thing in these years, and that is to clear the land!
He wanted to take back the land that had been robbed by the rich and redistribute it to the poor people!
But after so many years, Ma Zhou desperately found that "his efforts have made him become more and more different in the court, and he has become more and more estranged from his colleagues, and there has been no progress at all!"
Most of the land that was recovered returned to the hands of the wealthy.
Those people living in poverty are still living in dire straits.
After discovering this, Ma Zhou fell into deep confusion for a long time. He didn't know whether his efforts were useful or useless, and he didn't know whether there would be any results if this continued.
Until, the emperor sent him to Shandong!
Here, after Ma Zhou experienced great disasters and chaos, he suddenly thought of a word: no destruction, no establishment!
Compared with other places where the relationship is intricate and can affect the whole body, Shandong, which has been completely destroyed, is full of scraps and broken tiles, but it has also been washed away into a blank piece of paper, a piece of paper that can make him
A blank sheet of paper to realize a lifelong ambition. "Hey, tell me, Your Majesty, is he confused? How can he do such a thankless thing?"
Following Liu Hongji's resentful muttering, Xiao Han's body shook violently! It was as if he suddenly saw the heavy burden on Xiao Lizi's body.
