Li Gu has been working as a third envoy for so many years, and finally began to act, and the strategy he adopted was to combine difficulty and ease, and promote it by division, first of all, the area of Qingzhang Tianmu was set into four areas, namely Hedong, Hebei, Youzhou, and Gyeonggi...... As a model for the whole country, these four places will take the lead in promoting them, and the rest of the localities will be promoted after summing up their experiences.

This strategy was quickly approved by Chai Rong, and the three divisions were officially promulgated, and the vigorous Qingzhang fields began.

"Senior brother, you have to force Li Gu to rush ahead, it seems that it is not just for Mingzhe to protect himself, just from the starting style, Li Gu has two hits." Li Xi expressed his heartfelt admiration, although he was familiar with the scriptures and history, and had studied with Feng Dao for many years, after all, he had been an official for too short a time and was not very familiar with general affairs.

According to what Li Xian thought, since he wanted to clear the acres of land, he should make an order and implement it all day long, leaving no loopholes, so as to convince the public.

But the problem is that it is too difficult to carry out it together in the whole world, which is equivalent to starting a war with all the scholars. Moreover, Qingzhang Tianmu is also a technical job, and the imperial court can't draw so many manpower for a while, so it is a very realistic practice to carry out zoning.

And partitioning is also learned.

Li Gu selected four places, and the situation in Hedong and Youzhou was similar.

These two places, both of which have just been recovered by the Great Zhou, were originally stolen by the Khitan and Shatuo, and now they are back in the hands of the Great Zhou, whether it is Shatuo or Khitan, the former landlords have been killed, and now they have become ownerless fields. According to the size of the military merits, the imperial court re-awarded the land to the meritorious soldiers.

In these two places, there is almost no traditional gentry power, so Qingzhang Tianmu is the smoothest, and many soldiers even take the initiative to cooperate, so to speak, there is no difficulty.

Li Gu listed these two places as the first batch of Qingzhang objects, just to set an example for the world and tell everyone that not everyone is against the change of the law, and there are still people who are willing to cooperate with the imperial court, and if you still oppose it, you have bad intentions!

There are two more places next, one is Hebei and the other is Gyeonggi.

There is also a lot of knowledge in this, Hebei is five surnames and seven sects, the place where the wealthy families of the scholars are entrenched, because of the Yellow River burst, the problem of encroaching on the flood discharge area, Chai Rong has asked Zhao Pu to clean up the farms all over the place in Hebei, which is the main battlefield of the imperial court and the scholars, and it will be included in the list of the first batch of Qingzhang fields, which is also the meaning of the question.

As for the last piece, the Gyeonggi region, because it is the center of gravity of the imperial court, there are many officials, intricate, and the difficulty of clearing the acres of land is the greatest, but it is also the most concerned, and Li Gu decided to personally take charge of the Gyeonggi area.

Li Xianggong bravely shouldered heavy responsibilities and dared to charge into battle, which was naturally appreciated by the Son of Heaven, and Chai Rong specially left Li Gu to give a banquet in the palace.

Even if it is a prime minister, there are not many people who can get this honor. Li Gu was grateful, patted his chest and promised that he would live up to His Majesty's trust and complete the work of Qingzhang!

"This old guy is simply playing tricks, Hedong, Youzhou, Hebei, these three places are all done by our people, and he is only responsible for Gyeonggi!" Ye Hua unceremoniously pierced Li Gu's thoughts, "Although Gyeonggi is difficult, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the execution ability of the hundred officials is the strongest, and it may be easier to clear up." And I have a hunch that Li Gu's first knife is likely to hit me on the head! ”

Li Xi was puzzled, "Senior brother, although I don't think Li Gu is a good person, but he did things this time out of public intentions, and his head is the way, which is impeccable...... By the way, junior brother, you have a lot of industries in Gyeonggi? ”

Faced with Li Xian's idiotic question, Ye Hua could only say that Lao Tzu's land in Gyeonggi was more than the emperor's!

Ye Hua is not bragging, just a champion city is bigger than the palace, he still has so many food estates, fortunately Fu San has dealt with all the real estate in the city, otherwise the two of them are really rich and rival the country!

Ye Hua stood up, patted the soil on his buttocks, and said helplessly: "Let's go, I guess Li Gu should bring someone here." ”

Li Xi was very curious about Ye Hua's family background, and they followed suit, they went down the mound, left the ten-mile peach forest, and returned to Champion City.

As soon as they walked into the signing room, they found Li Gu with Erlang's legs crossed, drinking tea!

Seeing Ye Hua coming, he smiled and put the teacup aside.

"Master Hou, why did you come back, the tea is tasteless."

Ye Hua rolled his eyes, "Can I take a look at the industry I struggled for?" ”

"Yes, of course!" Li Gu smiled and said: "As long as the champion Hou can follow the rules and pay for the service, you can do anything!" ”

Ye Hua really wants to tear this nasty old face to shreds!

What is reform, reform is to put a knife on oneself, a little bit of meat, really distressing!

"Li Xianggong, don't talk nonsense, let's talk directly!"

"Okay!" Li Gu said with a smile: "If the old man remembers correctly, the champion Hou had a whole street in the inner city back then, what is the situation now?" ”

"It's been dealt with." Ye Hua said angrily: "The shops on that street are either sold or rented, some are given to merchants, some are in charge of the former family members of our Ye family, and some are His Royal Highness Brother Xing...... I have explained, the inventory has been sent to Kaifeng Mansion, as long as the tax is collected according to the rules, it has nothing to do with me. ”

"Good!"

Li Gu said again: "What about the outer city? At the beginning, Hou Ye and Fan Xianggong worked together to dredge the water and expand the outer city, if the old man is not mistaken, your real estate in the outer city is not a few, right? ”

"It's true that these lands were either built with shops or real estate, and most of them were given to my troops, who killed the enemy on the battlefield and left them disabled, and I can't help but take care of them."

"The champion Hou is affectionate and sympathetic to his subordinates, and the old man admires it, so you handed over the land and real estate to them, should you pay a deed tax?"

"Deliver! You don't bother the good guys who have retired. I will sell the remaining land at a low price, and the proceeds will be used as deed tax, and I will pay it all within a month! ”

"Interesting!"

Li Gu said with a smile: "Master Hou, don't blame the old man for not being emotional, this time the core of Qingzhang Tianmu is to collect taxes according to property, pay more money, pay less money, this principle, Master Li also knows?" ”

Li Xian nodded awkwardly, "Yes, yes, I know." He peeked at his junior brother and found that Ye Hua's face was dark, sure enough, it was uncomfortable for anyone to be cut off!

"Master Hou, after talking about the part of the city, let's talk about the outside of the city, this champion city, as far as the old man knows, is built on farmland, and the land used at the beginning is the food field under your name. As a result, you have turned the farmland into a workshop without authorization, and over the years, although the output of the workshop has paid commercial taxes, how is this land calculated? Master Hou, how about you give the old man a charter? ”

"Li Xianggong can change these lands into urban commercial land and assign them to Kaifeng Mansion, and the future taxes will be the same as those in the inner and outer cities!"

"Hey, if you do this, then Master Hou will suffer, and at least half of your food will be gone!" Li Gu had a problem, and he looked sympathetic, Ye Hua's hand unconsciously touched his waist, fortunately he came out in a hurry today, and he didn't have a saber, otherwise he would have split Li Gu!

"Master Hou, there is one more thing here, old man." Li Gu didn't care about Ye Hua's anger at all, he leaned over and said: "The so-called gentry pay for food in one piece, the key is fairness, what do you think should be done with those princes and dukes' food estates?" After the abolition, it will be directly handed over to the people for cultivation, or will the people bear two shares of the land endowment and give one to the imperial court? Give Hou Ye a copy? ”

When Ye Hua was named the champion Hou, there were 3,000 households, and later it increased one after another, reaching 10,000 households and 1,500 households, which is a veritable 10,000 households.

"Li Xianggong, I still mean to take back the imperial court...... The people above, like ordinary people, farm and pay for the endowment. The princely duke's food is only falsely granted, and it is no longer granted. How much you can receive every year is from the household expenses. ”

Li Gu nodded, "This is the best, but over the years, the household department is not rich, and the arrears of the money have happened from time to time, the prince and the duke, withdraw from the household, the old man is worried that there will be a situation of arrears, which is not good for the marquis!" ”

Ye Hua smiled, "Personal matters are small, but national affairs are big." Li Xianggong, please rest assured, I will fully cooperate, lead by example, and will not embarrass Li Xianggong! ”

"Okay, it's really a loyal country!"

Li Gu stood up and bowed deeply to Ye Hua, "With the Hou Ye as an example, the old man dares to say that in the land of Gyeonggi, no one dares to compete with Qingzhang, and the old man can finally let go!" ”

Li Gu got up, looked up to the sky and laughed, shook three steps, and walked out of the living room, just like the general who had won the battle!

He left, and Ye Hua sat there, his lips blue.

Grabbed the teacup and slammed it into a pile of debris.

Li Xian, who was sitting next to him, was cramped and uneasy, and he was at a loss.

Reform and change the law, it is easy to say, but it is really difficult to do, when did he think about it, it turned out that his junior brother was one of the largest landlords in Dazhou!

With Li Gu's hand, he took away the shops in the inner city and the outer city, and took the champion city again, and by the way, he also abolished the food town...... Ye Hua's struggle for several years turned into an east wind and flowing water, and the vast white land was really clean!

"Senior brother, why don't you talk to Your Majesty, you have so much merit, you should be treated differently to show your favor!"

Ye Hua rolled his eyes, "There is a special case, there is a second and a third...... What is called the gentry to receive grain in one, and what is called Qingzhang Tianmu! I can't just because I'm alone, and the whole situation will be ruined! ”

"The younger brother is kind-hearted and admires the elder brother...... But, why are you still angry? ”

Ye Hua's brows moved, his lips were blue, and he couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, "Damn, who doesn't feel distressed if they lose so much money!" ”

Li Xi couldn't help but laugh.

"Senior brother, the so-called easy to know is difficult to do, for my brother to understand your difficulties too well, how good it is to be like me, alone, without worry! Don't be afraid of anything! ”

Ye Hua sneered, "You are less proud, according to this change, your income will also be taxed, and you can't run!" ”

"Ahh

Li Xian's old face instantly turned the color of pig liver, his eyes rolled, and he gritted his teeth and said: "You can't let Li Gu be cheap, junior brother, let's give the old thing some eye medicine and let out a bad breath!" ”

As he spoke, he pulled Ye Hua and walked outside......
