Li Ermajesty summoned the most elite group of people in the administrative field of the Tang Dynasty into the palace so far, including the highest governor of the three provinces, the seven Shangshu and the left and right servants, the summons was in the afternoon, the rule of the Tang Dynasty is to go to work in the morning and take a vacation in the afternoon, although in recent years, the official business has been busy, and everyone has no time to rest, but with the one qiē is on the right track, with the process, everyone does it step by step, and gradually squeezes out the time to rest.

But when everyone went out to drink and relax, the emperor's summons arrived, the supreme governor of the three provinces, the seven Shangshu and the left and right squires, a total of more than a dozen people, is the supreme ruler of the Tang administrative region, this edict made the entire administrative department that was discussing where to relax and feel uneasy.

Seeing their respective bigwigs go to the palace with puzzled and uneasy expressions, the provincial officials and officials of various ministries have no intention of going out to drink and relax, and they all stay in their respective positions honestly with a worried mood, waiting for them to come back and bring good news or bad news, many people secretly wondered, could it be that the emperor is going to launch an anti-corruption campaign again? It's only been since the last time, and I haven't had much time! Do you want people to live again and again?

But fortunately, it's been busy lately, and everyone has no time to bribe each other, and most people are still relatively relieved, but their respective top officials have been called away, which is obviously a big deal!

The governors of the three provinces and the seven Shangshu plus the left and right attendants were also very puzzled, why did the emperor choose to summon them at such a time period? Is something big going on? That's also past the time of the noon dynasty, shouldn't all urgent matters be handled at noon?

One by one, they quickly walked into the emperor's study, where he was dealing with important tasks. Seeing that the emperor was holding a pile of papers, his brows were tightly locked, and his face was stern, they rushed to the situation one after another, where was the problem? What went wrong? I heard that Suning's kid went south to Lingnan as a messenger, could it be that there was something big wrong in Lingnan? Rebelled? Suning's kid didn't handle things well?

Most of the high-ranking officials here are Li Erma's cronies, and after the sweep, the administrative institutions have basically no hostile forces, and some are just different interest groups within the same force, and there are many people who are dissatisfied with Suning among the civil officials, except for the Ministry of Industry controlled by the Mo family, the vertical and horizontal department controlled by the Zongheng family, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which is regarded as the world of the Three Plains Gang. The main leaders of several other departments did not have much affection for Suning.

Even the Ministry of Civil Affairs. There are also two opposing voices in it, the Sanyuan Gang led by Wang Yuan, the left servant, and the literati forces led by Ren Ji, the right servant, the two forces have existed for a long time, and the opposition is not a day or two. Several successive secretaries of the Ministry of Civil Affairs have turned a blind eye to this. Let them fight, as long as they do things honestly. What about the rest?

The rest of the departments are not unified internally, and the Criminal Department has received the favor of Suning, and you say that the Criminal Department is completely on the opposite side of Suning, which will make many people feel that the Criminal Department does not know about the Grace Report. It will cause a lot of gossip; In other departments, Honglu Temple is very supportive of Suning, and now Honglu Temple has completed a successful transformation, and its influence is quite large, and under its influence, non-major departments basically do not participate in the war, and the forces of Suning and Suning are basically evenly matched in the seven departments of the main administrative department.

In case it really gets into trouble, it's really not a simple matter, but what Li Erma is going to talk about today can't make some people get their wish.

"You are all here, you have come very neatly, very good, it seems that you have not slackened, no one has run back from the tavern, if there is, I must remove him, in this situation, you who are officials cannot lead by example, how can you ask the officials of the following departments to be diligent? You all have to remember that now Datang is in danger of survival, you must not slack off, don't think that you can enjoy a little achievement! Li Erqi said in a fierce voice.

A group of high-ranking officials nodded in their hearts, but they all muttered in their hearts, when they saw it yesterday, the emperor still looked smiling, saying that everyone did a good job and was worthy of rewards.

Fang Xuanling looked at Du Ruhui, Du Ruhui gave him a reassuring look, signaling him not to speak, and waiting for the emperor to finish the matter.

Li Er's majesty saw that all the high-ranking officials were concerned, so he slowed down and said: "I called you here this time, not for anything else, but for something that I and your ministers didn't notice, but this matter was noticed by some people, sue me, don't hide it from your ministers, after I read this report, I was shocked into a cold sweat, I was deeply shocked, how many years, how many years I haven't felt this way, but today, I have this feeling!" ”

Li Erma's tone became stern again, it didn't look like he was joking at all, and it wasn't like anything else, ministers, you look at me, I look at you, I think it's very strange, Zhenguan innovation is in full swing, newspapers are applauded all over the place, and the imperial history that likes to bite people wanders around, scurrying around the pass, biting everything when he catches it, shouting for the people's life, but he hasn't bitten a few corrupt officials to death for a few months, everyone thinks that this is a good era that Datang has never had, far away from Han Sui!

But now, the emperor said that someone told him about an important matter, and then scared the emperor out of a cold sweat, obediently, what is this thing that can scare the emperor out of a cold sweat?

Li Ermajesty handed over Suning's recital to Zhao Chen, ordered him to read it aloud to the ministers, and at the same time closed the door, asking the ministers not to spread the slightest rumor of anything they heard today, otherwise they would be severely punished!

Zhao Chen began to read aloud, at first everyone listened well, and they all knew that this was a report from Suning's kid to Li Erma, this kid was really good at tossing, and he could toss back as far away as Lingnan, but listening to it, everyone felt that the more they listened, the more wrong it became, especially when they heard the prediction of the official Haoqiang family Tongguò natural disaster to wantonly annex land, many people also felt frightened in their hearts, Li Erma Xià did not let Zhao Chen read the solution, only let him read the part of the problem.

I read it for half an hour. On the one hand, he was shocked by the accuracy and long-term vision of Suning, and on the other hand, he felt that the problem was indeed thorny and abnormal, especially Suning's sentence of strong Qin sweeping Liuhe, looking at He Xiongzai, but it was still destroyed in the hands of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, two capital prisoners, and the water could carry the boat or overturn the boat. Those who go against the will of the people. Mortal.

Everyone was terrified in their hearts, and after Zhao Chen finished reading, everyone trembled and asked for guilt, and Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui took the lead in asking Li Ermajesty for guilt. said that they didn't notice such a huge hidden danger. and the harshness of the Jiangnan issue. Li Erma sighed and asked everyone to stand up and sit down. Then the first one appeased Fang Xuanling: "Why does Fang Qing have to ask for guilt? Thanks to Fang Qing's plan, high-yield crop seeds are not allowed to flow into Jiangnan, which has brought a ray of life to Datang! ”

Fang Xuanling repeatedly said that it was not his own credit, thanks to His Majesty's Hongfu, Li Er waved his hand, and said with a wry smile: "Don't say this kind of thing in the future, my Hongfu?" If I am really blessed, why do I have to encounter such a big thing, fortunately, I was discovered by Suning in advance and told Yu I that if everyone did not find out, the law of Juntian would inevitably collapse, and the land of Datang would inevitably flow into the hands of Haoqiang, and the world would be in chaos, and it would not be far off! ”

Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to blame yourself, this matter is not Your Majesty's fault, nor anyone's fault, Suning has merit, but in this matter, no one is wrong, Suning can find out that it is a credit, but no one has noticed that this move will bring a huge disaster to Datang, so to speak, Majesty, in fact, no one is wrong, because no one has raised such concerns before Suning." ”

Li Erqi sighed, nodded and said: "I also know, thanks to me sending Suning to Jiangnan, so that he heard and witnessed the real situation in Jiangnan, which made him discover such a huge problem, the blessing of the Tang Dynasty, he also proposed some corresponding measures, I summoned all the ministers here today, that is, I want to listen to everyone's opinions, think together, how to deal with such a thing?" Now that I know, I can't let this happen, even after a hundred years. ”

Li Erma's attitude is resolute, and everyone can't help it, but after thinking about it, this is simply talking about everyone's lifeline, and now everyone has no greed for land, and almost all of the people here are meritorious old ministers, and they got the land only after being rewarded by Li Erma, and there is no trick and robbery, with a clear conscience, and they are not worried, but who can say what will happen in the future, Suning is now proposing, it is really a wake-up call for everyone!

The situation is indeed quite strict, Du Ruhui, as the right servant of Shangshu and the vertical and horizontal Shangshu, spoke again: "Qi Xià, for a while, I can't think of any good strategies, since His Majesty said that Su Shilang has come up with a corresponding strategy, then, you might as well tell me to wait, and I will discuss and discuss together and sort out a countermeasure, wouldn't it be better?" ”

Li Erma nodded, took the report handed over by Zhao Chen, and explained in person: "Suning's idea is to ask the imperial court to expropriate and purchase a large amount of land and expand the amount of land in the hands of the imperial court.

And in the year of the famine, the land is not harvested, and the people cannot support themselves, not to mention paying taxes, the only way out at this time is to sell the land, obtain money to pay taxes, buy food, and out of persecution, the land is generally sold cheaply, and the people who get the land are the local heroes or families, so that the land of the court is taken by these heroes and families, taking advantage of the troubled times, making a fortune and making a fortune, such traitors are very hateful! ”

Li Ermajesty became angry as he spoke, slapped the table and scolded, which made everyone feel related, and the smart people realized that the emperor was pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, which was intended to warn all the officials present to clean themselves and not make mistakes, otherwise they would never be soft...... It is related to the Li Tang Dynasty, and Li Er Majesty will definitely not be soft.

After scolding, Li Erma went on to say that Suning's solution was to negotiate with the Haoqiang clan in Jiangnan, and the imperial court used high-yield crops and money to buy the land and redundant tenant tribes that the landlords were unable to develop, and then turned these tenants and tribes into civil registration, officially implemented the high-yield crops and land equalization system in Jiangnan, and built water conservancy, trying to use high-yield crops so that the peasants could eat enough and have enough money and goods to pay taxes.

In the year of famine, water conservancy projects can be used to ensure that the harvest is not reduced, as long as the people have income, can eat enough and pay taxes, will not sell land, the imperial court strictly monitors the sale of private land, and severely cracks down on illegal transactions, perhaps it can alleviate the problem.
