Datang Fenghua Road

Han Yue smiled and said mysteriously: "Send them to the court for approval, and let them have an official body. The father and the emperor should not underestimate this official body, although it is only a false name, and we do not need any salary, but the elders of the clan. Must rejoice and regard it as a lifetime of glory!"

What he said was absolutely right. The clan forces in ancient villages were not like modern times. Ancient clans protected their own people and rarely bullied the villagers. The two are also easy to suppress. Don't forget that the township officials are all veterans.

"The clan is the village official, regard it as an honor..." Li Shimin muttered to himself, suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he blurted out: "I understand, stinky boy, you want the elder of the clan to be the village head, and then let the village head. The elders are going to take up positions in the management area, am I right or wrong?"

Han Yue nodded proudly and explained in a low voice: "The management area is not only held by the village chiefs, but the township officials also have to take temporary posts, so that we can have our people everywhere, push down one level at a time, and the more you go down, the more grateful you are to the imperial court. As long as this thing is done, why does Your Majesty worry that the world cannot be controlled, and why does the royal father fear that the family will come to force the palace?"

"Hahahaha!" Li Shimin raised his head and laughed wildly.

The emperor really laughed this time, and his voice shook the roof tiles. Just as the ministers in the hall looked at each other, Li Shimin suddenly stopped laughing and looked at Han Yue with long eyes.

"King Zhao of the West Palace listens to the order, quickly kneel down and listen to the seal..."

what--

The people in the hall were stunned for a moment. The emperor had just finished rewarding Han Yue, why did he have to seal it again?

Han Yue was also stunned, but he responded quickly, and quickly fell to the ground obediently.

Li Shimin said loudly: "My son, listen to the truth, I have given you the post of General Tiance, and I ordered you to hold my sword of the Son of Heaven, mount the horse to manage the army, dismount to manage the people, and now I promise you to coordinate the six divisions of the court. Quan, you are allowed to walk the twelve roads of the Tang Dynasty, patrol the world on my behalf, be responsible for the construction of [-] townships, and control the management of millions of rural areas..."

The emperor paused for a while when he said this, his eyes flashed a few times, and suddenly he shouted: "The government of the Tang Dynasty is about to be updated, this is a change that has not been seen in thousands of years. The Lichaotang system, the [-] townships and the millions of management areas in the world are not under the control of the county-level government, and are directly under the jurisdiction of me!"

wow——

As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was in an uproar, and a minister stood up and said: "Your Majesty's move is beneficial to centralize power, but the world is so big, my Tang Dynasty has one million, ten million, ten million people, and set up one hundred thousand townships and one million people. The management area may not be enough, how can your Majesty have the energy to manage such a huge organization?"

"Hahaha, Aiqing, your question is good!" Li Shimin looked up at Han Yue with a long smile, and suddenly looked down at Han Yue, and said loudly: "The two-level yamen are directly under the jurisdiction of me. I will give you the title of King Zhao of the West Mansion, to be the virtuous king of the Tang Dynasty for eight thousand years, under one person, over ten thousand people, and wherever he goes, it's like I've been there in person..."

Wherever I go, it's like I'm here!

Just eight words, but it was like a rumbling thunder, buzzing in the minds of the ministers in the hall, and everyone was stunned.

Chapter 396 Lead everyone to make a fortune

Fifty miles east of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, there is a county named Lantian. This county is a small county, 65 miles from east to west and 55 miles from north to south. Although it is a small county, it has a large population because it is located in Chang'an, the imperial capital.

Later generations of Lantian County only had more than 60 people, but Lantian County in the Tang Dynasty surpassed it, with a population of 80 within its jurisdiction.

The main reason is that there are constant wars in this era, coupled with natural disasters and floods in various places, causing people to be displaced and abandon their homes to flee famine. Since they choose to flee famine, they naturally have to flee to a place where they can have enough food. Chang'an is the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty. They flock here.

In the 12 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been four refugee waves, two natural disasters, and two man-made disasters. The natural disasters are floods and droughts, and the man-made disasters are the Turkic invasion and the Southwest rebellion.

Due to natural and man-made disasters, people all over the world kept fleeing to the customs, resulting in more and more people around Chang'an.

Although Lantian County is a small county, it now has a population of 80. In February of the ninth year of Wude, the Tang Dynasty established the Yamen of Yongzhou Prefecture, and Lantian County was under its jurisdiction.

Now the boss of Yongzhou Mansion is Hejian County King Li Xiaogong, who is loyal to Li Shimin's royal family, but the officials at all levels are different, most of these officials are from aristocratic Confucian families.

Half a month ago, Wang Gui, the patriarch of the Wang clan in Taiyuan, led the trend. Eighty percent of the officials in the world resigned and forced the palace. .

In June, when the farming season is about to be busy, the wheat in the fields is glowing golden, and it is almost time for the harvest.

At this juncture, the yamen at all levels suddenly resigned from office and put their seals on it. Who will lead the people to harvest wheat, who will be responsible for the taxation of the imperial court, and other major issues such as competition for water sources among private villages, fights between clans, etc., the county yamen used to come out to mediate , no one cares now.

The world is in chaos, and many heroes with ulterior motives feel the opportunity.The aristocratic family is worthy of being an aristocratic family. This time, the joint action can almost pry over the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

Just when all parties were about to move, an imperial decree suddenly came out from the palace, gathering the eyes of the whole world.

Datang wants to set up a town of [-], with a management area of ​​[-] million under its jurisdiction!

"Is Li Shimin jumping over the wall?" In the Dali Temple Heavenly Prison, Wang Gui smiled disdainfully. Now he has completely turned against the royal family. Not only did he not address His Majesty, he even said that Li Shimin jumped over the wall.

An aristocratic clan leader next to him laughed and said, "That little boy who is known as a wizard, finally failed to help his father! He can think of such a stupid thing as a soldier who was born with mud legs to become an official!"

Wang Gui laughed, stroked his beard lightly with his palm, and said lightly: "In three years, the Tang Dynasty will be in chaos. The poor Li family has been sitting in the country for a total of 12 years, and it will be overthrown in a blink of an eye."

One person suddenly whispered: "The Emperor Taishang sent someone to pass the book last night. He is going to climb up and call to return to the Taiji Palace. In the book, he invited our aristocratic family to help, saying that as long as he ascends the throne again, he will give us great benefits?"

"The benefits of heaven?" Wang Gui raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "If you want benefits from others, how can we remember to take benefits from ourselves? Asking others to ask for them is called begging, and taking them yourself is the master..."

His eyes flashed suddenly, and he said with a deep meaning: "My Wang family has been inherited for thousands of years. I used to hide in the dark as a minister. Now it's time to stand up and be a king!"

The people in the prison looked at each other in dismay, and the heads of several aristocratic clans said with glittering eyes: "Your Majesty said this, do you mean to..."

Wang Gui laughed, closed his eyes and began to rest. Seeing his complacent gesture, it seemed that everything was under control.

Everyone was silent for a long time, and suddenly one person whispered: "The chaos in the world has already appeared, I can't say it, this is really an opportunity to seize!"

There was a flash of light in his eyes, and he said viciously: "Because of Han Yue's incident, Li Shimin killed two ministers of my family. I will avenge this revenge. After the Li family is destroyed, I will see the heads of the father and son as a nightpot! "

……

……

The bigwigs in the prison are imagining, and the officials of all the states and prefectures in the world are also looking forward to it. Just when this kind of chaos is about to appear, the Chang'an Emperor suddenly has a new movement.

For half a month, tens of thousands of soldiers will leave the city, and they will continue to gallop along the way, like ants that have emerged from their nests.

In the early morning of this day, the official road in Lantian County was suddenly dusty, but seeing a group of about [-] horses and horses rushing wildly, the pedestrians on the side of the road gave in one after another, and suddenly saw the group of knights bypassing the county town and heading directly for a village ten miles north of the city.

This village is called Niujia Village. Because it is close to Lantian County, there are many households in the village.

The three hundred knights rushed all the way into Niujia Village. Just when the villagers panicked, they heard a knight laughing loudly: "Brothers, this is the hometown of my third Niu."

He rolled over and dismounted, and the rest of the knights also rolled over and dismounted, and everyone stood quietly beside the horse and looked at the village and the people.

They were looking at the people, and the people were also looking at them secretly. Suddenly, an old woman in the crowd made a startled "Hey" and shouted tremblingly: "San Biaozi, is it you, my son, is it you who came back?" ?”

Niu Laosan was shocked, he turned his head to look at the old woman in the crowd, knelt on the ground with a thud, and cried, "Mother, you are right, I'm back, I came back from the battlefield alive."

There was a sound of tsk-tsk around, and the old man who was familiar with the past whispered: "This Niu Laosan's family is very poor. He has no father since he was a child, and he relies on his widowed mother to support him. However, his wife is an ordinary woman, so she has no ability to support children. Niu Laosan's two elder brothers starved to death, and the food he saved provided for Niu Laosan and his two younger sisters. When Niu Laosan was 15 years old, his family became poorer and poorer. I went to join the frontier army."

The old man sighed as he spoke. Many of the surrounding people had fled from the famine. They didn't know the past of the village, so they were a little fascinated by it.

The old man said again: "The frontier army is the regular army of the court, not ordinary government soldiers who farm and serve as soldiers at the same time. They stationed at the border and fought against the Turkic people. Turned into a dead body, if the old man remembers correctly, this Niu Laosan may be 25 or 15 years old this year, he joined the frontier army at the age of [-], and he has not died for ten years, tsk tsk tsk, this life is really tough..."

"What if he comes back alive? His family is poor, his two younger sisters are thin and dark, and none of his in-laws are willing to ask for it. Even if Niu Laosan has achieved a little military merit, the court will probably give some reward money to finish the job, but money can only be spent. How many years? Their family will still suffer from poverty in the future, alas, poor, really poor!"

It was another old man who was speaking. He thought for a while, and suddenly said: "There seems to be a wasteland in the back mountain. When I look back, the old man gathers a few old men in the clan to discuss and discuss, and give that land to the third Niu. After all, it’s the baby of our Niujia Village, he hasn’t died at the border for ten years, and he must not be starved to death by Niujia Village!”

The old man in front nodded slowly and said solemnly: "You are right, fourth, you can't starve this baby to death, his family is too pitiful!"

When the two were talking, Niu Laosan had been crying with his mother for a long time, he slowly stood up from the ground, suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to the two old men, and said loudly: "Thank you third grandfather, thank you fourth grandfather, my Sanbiaozi After joining the army for ten years, there are only my mother and two younger sisters left in the family. If there is no care from the clan, they will not be able to wait for me to come back. The third grandfather, the fourth grandfather, I kowtow to you!"

The soldier spoke loudly, and he banged his head a few times on the ground, but the two old men were too late to stop him.

Most of the people around are kind, and a few elderly women sighed: "Oh, poor baby, after ten years of being a soldier, although he came back alive, his family is still poor..."
