Chapter 6: Killing "Zhongliang"
"All of you love to be polite, flat!"
"Long live thanks!"
"Everyone, Aiqing, does anyone know about the Yanhuang Empire?" Liu Fei swept the hall and asked.
Yanhuang Empire, there is the Yanhuang Empire on the Eternal Continent? Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, there is a look of confusion on his face, and finally an old man standing on the left walked out, bowed to Liu Fei with both hands and asked:
"What Your Majesty said, it should not belong to the Eternal Continent, from the old minister's knowledge, there is no country called the Yanhuang Empire on the Eternal Continent, maybe a small country with a little-known name is incompetent, but the country that can be called an empire definitely does not belong to a small country. ”
"Lord Taifu is right, the Yanhuang Empire does not belong to the Eternal Continent, during the time I was in a coma, I was brought to this country called the Yanhuang Empire by a gray-haired old man in a dream, and when I saw the development of that country, I knew how backward the development of the Xinhan Kingdom was. Do you know how many subjects of the Yanhuang Empire are?"
"Returning to Your Majesty, it can be called an empire, and the subjects should be no less than 50,000. The Taifu immediately replied.
"Lord Taifu is really knowledgeable and talented, the absolute population of the normal empire is almost 50,000, but the subjects of the Yanhuang Empire are 400,000. ”
400,000,000, how many subjects are that! Suddenly there were all kinds of voices in the main hall. There are the incredible, the unbelievable, in short, all kinds of voices gathered.
......
"Your Majesty, with such a large population, can an empire bear such a huge expense?"
"I didn't believe it at first, but later I saw that all the subjects of the Yanhuang Empire were well-fed, their families had surplus food, and they had spare money, and everyone had a smile on their faces. ”
"Your Majesty, this is a bit unlikely, we all know that adding 10,000 more people to consume grain and grass every day will be innumerable. ”
"I also know, but Master Taifu, I ask, how much grain does Xin Han Kingdom produce per mu?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Xinhan Kingdom is the grain production base of other countries, with an average yield of 200 catties per mu, and a good harvest in the year, it can reach 300 catties per mu. ”
"The yield per mu is 200 catties, a good harvest, a large piece of land in the Xinhan Kingdom is wasted like this, I tell you, the yield per mu of the Yanhuang Empire has reached 60,000 catties, and you are proud of your mu yield of 200 catties and 300 catties. ”
"60,000 catties per mu, oh my God, what is this! Is it a god? Only an immortal can grow 60,000 catties of grain per mu. The ministers talked one after another.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, having the favor of God and the guidance of the gods is the blessing of Xin Han, the blessing of Your Majesty, and the blessing of your ministers. Taifu immediately congratulated Liu Fei. The ministers also knelt down with the Taifu to congratulate.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am announcing a few major events today, and by the way, I also announce a few small things. ”
"Waiting for the oracle!"
"The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, and the first major thing I say today is to recover all the land in the country and hand it over to the state for unified distribution. From now on, no one shall be allowed to occupy land privately, and private ownership of land will be abolished. ”
What, if the private ownership of land is abolished, then what kind of officials are they going to do, they are officials just to hoard land, and now that the land is taken back, what kind of officials are they going to do, and besides, the land is left by the ancestors, so why should it be returned to the state? The crowd was noisy.
"Silence! There should be no noise in the hall. Xiao Guizi drank beside him.
"Why, the Chaoyang Palace is used as a vegetable market, what kind of system is the noisy and noisy, I just said the first thing, and there is more! The second thing is to abolish the private soldier ownership system, no official or individual is allowed to have private soldiers, and each official can only be configured according to national standards, and those who have private soldiers will be handed over to private soldiers at the specified time. ”
"What, hand over the private soldiers, how can this work, hand over the private soldiers, do we still have the right to freedom, can we still be protected personally? No, oppose, resolutely oppose!"
"Third, abolish the existing military and political system and replace it with a new one. Fourth, the existing city system should be abolished and a new state and county system should be established. Everyone, let me now give you your opinions. ”
"The ministers oppose it, the land system and the private army system have been established since the founding of our country, and the reason why the family can be able to do so is because the family owns the land and private soldiers, if the land and private army system are abolished, then what is the difference between us and those lowly untouchables?" another minister standing on the left stood up and objected.
"What Mrs. Li said was right, and the ministers seconded it. "Another minister stepped forward in support.
"The ministers seconded it!" In an instant, nearly half of the people in the court stood up to support Mrs. Li. Only the eight generals, Taifu who spoke first, and a few officials were still standing.
"Taifu Li, why don't you give up your little land, the land you own was also given to you by the emperor, now I am not taking it back on behalf of the emperor, why not, besides, your safety will be the responsibility of the state, and you will be assigned retinues and soldiers according to your rank, why bother. ”
"To put it lightly, when the land is recovered, we will be inferior at once, and then we will not be the meat on the chopping block to be slaughtered by others! The old minister is resolutely opposed and resisted, the land is ours, and the private soldiers are also recruited by us at our own expense, so don't think about taking it back with a word. ”
"Mrs. Li, what is your purpose in occupying a large amount of land and recruiting a large number of private soldiers?" Liu Fei held back the anger in his heart and asked calmly.
"Your Majesty, the land of the minister was given by the emperor first, plus the old minister exchanged it for gold leaf, and as for the private soldiers, the old minister spent a lot of money to recruit from the homeless people. ”
"Smack!" Liu Fei slapped on the dragon chair. The sound shook the officials, and their eyes immediately locked on Liu Fei. "Li Daoqiang, originally I wanted you to retire with dignity and go home to retire, but you are so unsightly, no wonder I am. Come on, take Li Daoqiang down to me, push him out of the door and cut it. ”
"Yes!" Four guards with knives immediately came in from outside the door and arrested Li Daoqiang.
"Your Majesty is angry, Mrs. Li is a pillar of the court, I hope that Your Majesty will ask Your Majesty for mercy for the sake of Mrs. Li's years of hard work. The Taifu who spoke earlier knelt on the ground and pleaded with Li Daoqiang. The eight generals saw that Liu Fei was really moving, and they also knelt down and pleaded with Li Daoqiang. More than half of the officials are Li Taifu's people, and if Liu Fei is allowed to cut Li Daoqiang, it will cause turmoil in the court and the world.
"Li Daoqiang, will you return the land and disband the private soldiers?" Liu Fei asked again.
"They want me to hand over the land, and hand over the private soldiers, unless I die, but I know that Your Majesty will not let me die, and they will not allow me to die. Li Daoqiang pointed to the officials around him.
"Are you so sure that I won't kill you? Are you sure that I won't kill you, and I won't be charged with killing the old ministers and the elders as soon as I ascend the throne, and you will be sure that they are all your hardcore accomplices? ”
"Take it down, cut it. ”
"Your Majesty, think twice!" the generals and the Taifu knelt down again and pleaded. The four soldiers looked at Liu Fei again, Liu Fei waved at them, and they immediately retreated.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, the old minister advises you to take back your life, the old minister said that you don't dare to kill me, they won't let you kill me!"
