When Li Ke heard this, his already gloomy face suddenly became even colder, as if it could drip water.
Snapped.
He swung the riding crop in his hand and hit Liang Kai squarely on the head.
"Hmph, you still dare to bargain with me. Not to mention that you are a small nobleman and a minister of the court. If you dare to talk to me like this, you will have been dragged out and beaten to death... Someone, give them half a stick of incense.
, after half a stick of incense, if there are still people in Huxian County, their legs will be broken and sent to Lantian Coal Mine to dig coal, regardless of age..." Li Ke finished speaking coldly, turned around and left.
Wow.
The Guancheng Brigade was immediately fully armed, rushed over, and surrounded Liang Kai and others.
For a while, there was a lot of wailing.
All women, old and young, were driven out of Hu County by Guancheng.
On a high-rise building in the distance, Vice Captain Li Ergou saw this and said somewhat unbearably: "Your Highness, if we kill everyone like this, will we be struck by lightning from the sky?"
This guy used to be a farmer, but he was lucky enough to become the deputy captain of the city management brigade.
Li Ke sneered and said: "These guys, according to the king's wishes, should all be beaten to death. How dare they unite to deal with the teacher? It's really not a pity to die... Since the teacher came to Hu County, the lives of the people of Hu County have been
Things are getting better day by day, and the people are grateful, but these nobles are the only ones who come out to oppose each other every day. They should have been driven out long ago... Also, this matter is indeed done a bit too much, but this time
The king remembers that the order to expel was not given by me!"
Li Ergou was shocked: "If not His Highness, who else?"
Li Ke took out an order and handed it to Li Ergou.
Li Ergou took it over. With his cultural level, he could barely understand half of the words. However, he could clearly see the signature at the end, which was his name: Li Ergou.
In other words, the order to expel was given by him, the deputy captain.
Whether it was a thunder strike or the court's investigation, it had nothing to do with the King of Shu, it was all Li Ergou's doing.
Li Ergou: "Your Highness..."
"Don't disturb me. Listen, the wailing of these nobles is like tragic music. It sounds so comfortable!"
Li Ergou: "..."
…
Food Research Institute.
Under Dai Jinyun's service, Wang Gui, Changsun Wuji and others had a great time eating and drinking.
It was getting dark.
Chen Shuda then said leisurely: "Everyone, it seems that we have come to Hu County to investigate the land enclosure movement, right?"
Everyone suddenly realized.
Originally, everyone planned to spend an afternoon investigating the matter.
I never thought that I would spend an entire afternoon just eating potatoes and beef stew.
Wang Gui picked his teeth and said: "Oh, His Majesty didn't give me a limited time to wait anyway, why not do it this way? It won't be too late to investigate tomorrow. This kid Jin Yun is so filial. Can I still eat potato stew and beef tomorrow?"
"
Good guy, as soon as these words came out, everyone started to share their experiences about eating potato and beef stew.
Some people say it's best to eat it when it's hot, while others say it's best to eat it when it's warm.
Some people say it tastes delicious when paired with soup, while others say the soup is best eaten alone.
Anyway, it was very lively.
Seeing this, Ma Zhou retreated quietly, rode a fast horse to the Hu County government office, and reported all the situation to Du He.
Du He heard this and said with a smile: "It's hard for these guys. As the top people in the Tang Dynasty, they don't even have good food. Alas."
Ma Zhou whispered: "Young Master, this delay is not an option. Tomorrow, all of you will go to the county to investigate the land enclosure movement. If they return to the court, you can be sure that they will never say anything about the Young Master.
Even if he says something nice, he might even add fuel to the fire to slander you."
Du He waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "Originally, I had no intention of dragging them with them. However, today Liang Kai and others took the opportunity to cause trouble. Now, these guys have all been driven out of Huxian County. They will even go to court tomorrow.
It doesn’t matter if Chinese officials come to investigate, but you’re right, but it’s not hopeless... There’s only one way to get officials from North Korea and China to speak for us!”
"any solution?"
"Let them fully identify with the land enclosure movement. Now, whether they or your majesty, the reason why they think this land enclosure movement is something like a tiger is precisely because they all think that the land enclosure movement will turn Hu County into an empty city.
If a big chaos breaks out in Hu County, if they change this view, wouldn't all the problems be solved?" Du He analyzed carefully.
Ma Zhou asked in surprise: "Master, do you mean to convince them?"
Du He shook his head: "To convince others, this is the most unreliable way in the world... You have to make them agree with this matter from the bottom of their hearts. Shanren has his own clever plan. Tomorrow morning, you go to the Food Research Institute and convince them
Take them to the county government and I will talk to them personally."
"yes!"
A night of silence.
Early the next morning.
Wang Gui and others had another meal of potato and beef stew at the Food Research Institute, and then everyone rushed to Huxian County.
When I entered the county town, I saw that the streets were deserted. Except for the patrolling Guancheng, there were occasionally a few ordinary people passing by. It looked very depressed.
What is this if not an empty city?
It was rare for people to discuss it.
Everyone wandered around the city, and finally went to the Huxian County Government under the leadership of Ma Zhou.
Du He has already prepared food and drinks to entertain everyone.
As the saying goes, those who take advantage of others are short-handed and soft-spoken. Seeing Du He's positive attitude, and the previous treat of potato and beef stew, although everyone said it was not the fault of Du He, they did not use extreme words.
Du He was not annoyed and chatted with everyone with a smile.
Finally, Du He said: "What you have taught me is that the reason why you deny this land enclosure movement is that you are actually overthinking it. According to what you just said, there are three main disadvantages of this land enclosure movement!"
"First, driving away the gentry will cause panic among people and cause trouble to the governance of Hu County!"
"Secondly, so many people moved out of Huxian County, making Huxian County a ghost town."
"Thirdly, this matter will break the pattern of co-ruling the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, and will make other nobles, especially the big nobles, disgusted, and it will not be conducive to the stability of the Tang Dynasty!"
After hearing that Du He summarized these three points, everyone nodded in agreement.
Wang Gui said: "Du He, since you already know this shortcoming, I advise you to stop enclosing land immediately. If so, I can put in a few nice words for you in front of Your Majesty so that you can avoid being punished. Otherwise, once I
When I return to Chang'an, I will report to His Majesty the encirclement of land that happened in Hu County. His Majesty will be furious and the court will be shocked. By then, it will be a great disadvantage to you!"
Wei Zheng also said: "Yes, Du He, I have thought about this land enclosure movement. In fact, it can be carried out in another way. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, land annexation has not happened before, but it has never been so direct and direct.
It’s so drastic. If you do this, you will incur opposition from everyone in the world.”
