A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"Where is where?" Gu Qing smiled and waved his hands.

Li Yifu was thinking about Gu Qing's method. At the beginning, the reward for reporting was just a shock, but the release of the pamphlet was like putting a knife on the necks of these powerful people.

"It's not good! It's not good!" A small official from Shangshu Province ran over and said in a panic, "Someone surrounded the reporting box. It seems that this posture will prevent the common people from reporting!"

"Hey mother!" Xu Jingzong yelled angrily, "Whoever doesn't have eyesight did it, I'll chop him up!"

"Yes..." The little official replied in a panic, "He is a member of General Li Daozong."

"I..." Hearing the name Li Daozong, Xu Jingzong's murderous aura was broken in an instant, and he sat down at 45 degrees and looked at the sky as if he was thinking about life...

The whole Shangshu province fell into silence again. Li Daozong is not easy to provoke. Li Daozong was a brave general from the beginning of his crusade against the Sui Dynasty. One of the candidates for Yan Pavilion has not been decided yet, he is also a member of the clan of Li Tang's royal family, he can be regarded as Li Yuan's nephew.

This Li Daozong has always been very popular with Li Er, because of the clan relationship, Li Daozong's status is not low, and this Li Daozong is not greedy for power and tactics, he is an honest and responsible person, but why did Li Daozong do this?Not directly related to the royal family, but belonged to the clan, relatives of Li Er.

The small official from Zhongshu Province came to report again. This was the first thing Li Daozong's youngest son did.

The little official continued, "They said that they want to protect the box and prevent it from being destroyed."

"Hehehe..." Xu Jingzong sneered, "It's clever, it's a good excuse."

"Master Hou, what are we going to do next?" Li Yifu asked.

"Don't panic, don't panic!" Gu Qing blew the tea leaves on the tea, "The mountain people have their own tricks!"

Many people in the court knew about this matter, and they were all watching the progress and dynamics of the matter. Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, including Wei Zheng who was far away from Chang'an, and Cen Wenwen were all watching the game of chess in Chang'an. Gu Qing fights against the rich and powerful, and this chess game is very interesting.

Li Daozong's youngest son made a move, and Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, who was also Li Yuan's nephew, was also keeping a close eye on the situation of this matter.

The three provinces and the six ministries all watched the development of the matter, and at this point the matter became deadlocked again. Zhang Liangji, who went up the stairs before, and Zhang Liangji, were all paying attention to Gu Qing's next move.

The rich and powerful children in Chang’an heard that Li Daozong’s people had taken action, and they all jumped up excitedly. One mountain is still taller. Gu Qing, you can deal with us dignitaries, maybe you can deal with people from the Tang clan? !There are mountain high mountain!

Just as all the noble children were cheering for the members of Li Tang's clan, they all drank alcohol and walked on the street with dazed eyes after getting drunk, "No, this report box is not in this position, it should be in the back .”

A few rich and powerful children who were too drunk to walk rubbed their eyes vigorously. After seeing clearly again, they were all dumbfounded again by the scene in front of them. There is a report box every few steps on the streets of Chang'an and there are special personnel Protected, and at a glance, there are four big characters in red: reward for reporting!

The powerful disciples walked around Chang'an and found that there were more than 300 reporting boxes in Chang'an.

"Too much bullying! Too much bullying! Too much bullying!" the powerful son vented.

Shang Shusheng

"Wow ha ha ha ha!" Li Yifu laughed loudly, "Now they are dumbfounded, they didn't expect it."

I have to say that Gu Qing's method is very tricky, so tricky that people are speechless.

"You are one foot taller than I am, and I am anxious to kill you!" Gu Qing smiled leisurely, "Xu Jingzong, you bring some gifts to visit Li Daozong, and tell him that he is very grateful to his youngest son for helping us protect the report box. "

"Yes!" Xu Jingzong said.

The mountain rain is about to come and the wind fills the building, Gu Qing's is not a mountain rain, but a big flood.

Gradually, some people put in the report letter in the report box in the corner where no one is paying attention and in the dead of night. Once there is one, there will be a second, third, and fourth...

In the morning of the second day, all the report letters were received, and Li Yifu looked at each report letter and continued, "Master Hou, can we do it?"

"Let it hang around for a while longer." Gu Qing said with a calm smile, "Let them stare blankly and be anxious to death. You can quietly put down the reward. I will pay for the money myself. Remember to be quiet so as not to expose the common people. ,Do you understand?"

"I understand." Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong went to work together.

All the noble children have not yet recovered from the incidents in the report box. Gu Qinghui has been quickly bringing people to the door to investigate, but the current situation makes them puzzled by Erzhang Monk, and Gu Qing just doesn't move.

Li Daozong also found out about his youngest son, so furious, he directly broke his youngest son's leg, and knelt in front of Chengtian Gate to accept the crime.

Chapter 405 Thunderstorm

Gu Qing is confronting the dignitaries. Everyone is waiting for the next step of the matter. Right now, Shang Shuling, who has just been in office for less than half a year, is fighting like a fairy with the children of the rich and powerful. No one knows what the next move will be. moves.

Li Daozong knelt in front of Chengtian Gate for more than an hour.

When Li Er knew about this, he immediately met him. In the Ganlu Hall, Li Daozong told him that he had no way to discipline his son. Li Er and Li Daozong talked for a long time, and all the nobles in Chang'an were paying attention to Li Daozong. After the conversation between the monarch and the ministers and brothers ended, word spread that Li Daozong asked himself to be banned, and he couldn't invite himself to Lingyan Pavilion.

Li Xiaogong, king of Hejian County, is visiting at the mansion of Changsun Wuji.

"Li Daozong's kneeling is also decisive." Li Xiaogong said.

Changsun Wuji looked at the words he had written, felt that the writing was not good and put down the pen in annoyance, "Because Li Daozong knew that he was looking for death by fighting against this matter, and His Majesty wanted to investigate the fields. Gu Qing was so bold because His Majesty had It takes determination to be fearless..."

Li Xiaogong said hesitantly, "This Li Daozong is really doing his duty, he has a lot of confidence to withdraw from the battle of Lingyan Pavilion."

Nodding his head, Changsun Wuji said again, "The reason why the powerful are powerful is that His Majesty has the final say on this power, and the power depends on the mood of His Majesty today. Have you seen that this time, all the powerful and powerful have taken action?" It’s just some children doing things.”

"I can see it." Li Xiaogong nodded.

Changsun Wuji remained silent

Li Tai and Fang Yi sat in the academy and talked, "What do you think will happen after this matter has come to this point?"

Listening to Li Tai's words, Fang Yi said directly, "Those dignitaries didn't personally resist Gu Qing's deeds at all, but let some younger ones do things. It can be seen that they want to know what Gu Qing is going to do with this matter. If the matter develops to the point where it is unstoppable, just kill yourself like Li Daozong."

"Li Daozong withdrew from the battle of Lingyan Pavilion." Li Tai knew in his heart that there was one less person in Lingyan Pavilion.

"Actually, I feel that Gu Qing is also testing the strength of these powerful people, and wants to know how determined these powerful people are to resist." Fang Yi sipped the tea in his cup and heard the sound of Lang Lang reading from the academy students, "Go to Ling Yange, Tian Fa must take this step, Gu Qing has the credit now, but what is missing is the prestige."

"How do you say that?" Li Tai asked doubtfully, "To say that Gu Qing offended Quan Chang'an's dignitaries will only make Gu Qing's reputation worse."

"The prestige of the powerful is not what Gu Qing cares about." Fang Yi put down his teacup, "His Royal Highness Wei Wang may wish to think about who will benefit from Gu Qing's matter in the end."

"Chaozhong." Li Tainao immediately thought of it, "The new field law has found out a lot of land that the rich and powerful have hidden and did not report. In the future, the grain tax will be increased."

"Anything else?" Fang Yi straightly smiled.

"There is still popularity! Gu Qing can gain the popularity of the people, and the people will have more land to cultivate, and the original tax burden can be reduced according to the harvest." Li Tai said something, "This new land law seems to be It is for the court to take over the land again, but it is actually reducing the grain tax of the people."

"That's right!" Fang Yizhi said, "The tax per mu has always been set according to the population, which has caused many people to pay the same tax as Futian while planting barren land, but this Fangtian method It is to set the tax according to the estimation of the harvest, so that the people can reduce unnecessary taxes.”

"In recent years, especially after the wars, the dignitaries and dignitaries in various places have hidden many acres of land privately, and many of the fields have not been registered. Therefore, these fields will be distributed to the common people for cultivation. This time the new land law will kill three birds with one stone! The common people have A lot of fields can be cultivated, and the court can increase more taxes by collecting more acres of land again, reducing the unnecessary taxes of the people."

Fang Yi nodded, "So Gu Qing must complete this step if he wants to enter Lingyan Pavilion."

Gu Qing, a rising star at a young age, was able to enter Lingyan Pavilion shoulder to shoulder with Duke Chaozhong. Li Tai sighed and looked at Fang Yizhi, "Your father's mantle should still be inherited by Gu Qing."

Fang Yi said straightly, "I really hope it's him."

"It's going to rain again." Looking at the dark clouds in the sky outside the window, Li Tai breathed in the sultry air, "Why don't you enter Chaozhong?"

"My father hopes that I can be in this academy. Although my father didn't say it, he hinted at it." Fang Yizhi's tone was very light and calm, "My temper is not suitable for living in the court, but Gu Qing can be like a fish in water, I also like the life in the academy."
