Just when everyone worked together and finally exchanged Du He's nine great achievements for a small county baronet, Du He accepted the order willingly and suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute."
This scared everyone.
Everyone has the same thoughts as Changsun Wuji.
Could it be that this arrogant person wants to go back on his word?
"Du He, you are also a consort after all. You are a manly man. How could you do such a shameless thing?"
"Yes, you made it clear just now with red lips and white teeth. Why are you regretting it now?"
Many people criticized it.
Du He smiled: "Who said I would regret it?"
He carefully put away the edict.
Then he asked: "Lord Changsun, just now you personally said that from now on, I will not be bound by the original will of the Supreme Emperor, and I can exchange for a title based on my merits, right?"
Changsun Wuji had no doubt about him: "Of course, everyone can witness what I said."
Du He chuckled: "In that case, I suddenly remembered that I seem to have another meritorious service."
"What credit?" Changsun Wuji's right eyelid twitched wildly.
What was supposed to come came.
The old man asked, why did Du He agree so easily just now?
Bang bang bang.
Du He clapped his hands.
Outside the imperial study, Ximen Qing led several imperial soldiers and brought in five large boxes.
Li Er couldn't help but ask: "What is this?"
Du He waved his hand.
Ximen Qing asked people to open five boxes at the same time.
Each box contains Slow's booklet.
Du He introduced: "Father, this is Youzhou, a yellow list of all the thirty-six counties in the state."
The yellow book is the household registration book.
Changsun Wuji looked at those yellow books and couldn't help but said: "Du He, are you crazy for wanting to make meritorious deeds? The Ministry of Civil Affairs has many yellow books in Youzhou. What's the use of these yellow books that you plundered?"
"Hahaha……"
Everyone laughed.
Du He sneered at the corner of his mouth and said: "Master Changsun, don't rush to erase my achievements. Take a look, what's different about this yellow book?"
no the same?
Changsun Wuji and others stared wide-eyed, but they didn't see any difference.
Du He said contemptuously: "Are you all presbyopic? You can't even see such obvious differences. This is not a yellow book for the government, this is a yellow book for the nobles!"
Swish.
There was sudden silence in the imperial study room.
Everyone was stunned and dared not speak.
The Tang Dynasty paid taxes based on population, but the gentry did not have to pay taxes.
As a result, the gentry all over the country, big and small, protected a group of common people, and these common people took refuge with the gentry one after another. They were not on the government's yellow roll, and therefore did not have to pay taxes.
His Majesty Li Er and the big shots in the DPRK have been aware of this problem for many years, but unfortunately there has been no solution.
In other words, the official yellow registration population is far lower than the real population.
The most authentic population data is in the yellow books of the nobles.
However, it is difficult to get the yellow book mastered by the nobles.
Unexpectedly, Du He actually got the yellow book of the entire Youzhou gentry?
Some people didn't believe it, so they ran up to read it themselves, and then silently went back.
All pornographic books are real.
Li Er was also shocked: "Du He... tell me, how did you do it?"
Du He smiled faintly: "Father, it's easy to say that the Lu family has been destroyed, and the noble families of Youzhou, big and small, all have something to do with the Lu family. I will give them three days to obediently submit the yellow book."
"I didn't expect that everyone took the initiative and sent the yellow book."
Everyone: "..."
It's that simple?
This is too effortless.
Du He turned around and looked at Changsun Wuji with a smile: "Master Changsun, you see, this can be considered a credit."
Changsun Wuji was speechless.
In the entire Youzhou, if you master the yellow records of the nobles, you can have at least 100,000 more people.
This is not a small amount of money, and it also captures the lifeline of the nobles. From now on, the imperial court will be able to send officials to Youzhou without any hindrance.
Isn't this a great achievement?
Others simply can't do it.
Others didn't dare to say anything.
Seeing Zhangsun Wuji in a daze, Du He smiled and said, "I'd like to trouble you, Master Zhangsun, to record it clearly for me in the merit book."
Changsun Wuji shook his head and wrote down this contribution to Du He.
"Then what should be rewarded?" Du He touched his chin and reminded.
Changsun Wuji rolled his eyes.
I have never seen such a shameless person.
Just listen to Li Er say: "Du He got the yellow book, which is of great significance. He was given a first-class title, and was named the son of Huyi County. He had 500 households in the city and was on the fifth rank. My dear friends, do you have any objections?"
Everyone lowered their heads.
This reward is reasonable and reasonable.
Impeccable.
Du He then turned to look at Wang Gui: "Sir Wang, please excuse me."
Wang Gui reluctantly stepped forward and drafted another edict.
Wang Gui is worthy of being a veteran in the court. He wrote two imperial edicts in less than one stick of incense, without any duplicates, and his literary talent is still high.
Changsun Wuji said: "Du He, take the order."
Du He was very respectful: "I accept the order!"
Du He picked up the two edicts, compared them left and right, was very satisfied, and then carefully put them away.
Since ancient times, has anyone changed his title from county boy to county son in one day?
No!
But Du He sat down.
Du He is the first person in history.
Everyone thought it was time to end.
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, I will tell you..."
The word "resignation" was not finished.
"Wait a minute!"
Du He's voice sounded again.
Boom.
Changsun Wuji felt as if he had been hit with a sledgehammer.
He stood there blankly for a long time before turning around leisurely: "Du He... you, what do you want to do?"
Du He scratched his head and looked shy: "Master Changsun, I'm sorry, I seem to have one more merit."
What?
Another achievement?
God, why don't you kill this bastard?
Changsun Wuji said angrily: "Du He, did you do it on purpose?"
Du He smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I'm really tired. You see, I fell asleep just now. I just remembered. Mr. Changsun, if you are tired, will you record it in the merit book?"
"snort!"
Changsun Wuji picked up the merit book and looked at Du He fiercely.
Du He bowed to Li Eryi and said: "Father, I suddenly remembered that when I went to Youzhou this time, I seized a total of 10,000 stones of grain, 1,000 war horses, 5,000 swords, 1,000 armors, and countless bows and arrows.
...Father, this is the handover document signed by General Qin himself."
silence!
The imperial study room, which had just gained some vitality, suddenly fell into dead silence again.
On average, ten thousand dan of grain is enough to feed everyone in Chang'an City for several months.
The amount of grain stored in the national treasury is about the same in a year.
Not to mention food, horses, swords, armor, bows and arrows... are all enough to arm an army.
What a big deal!
If someone had made such a great contribution, countless people would definitely applaud him.
But this person was Du He, so everyone didn't know what to say.
How come this killer is so lucky!
For a moment, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one dared to speak.
