Xu Zhaolin shouted excitedly, from now on, someone finally made decisions for them, no longer afraid of being bullied.

"My son-in-law, Shengming!"

"My son-in-law, Shengming!"

The people of Mangya Village followed suit.

They have respected Qin Mu as a god-like figure.

The common people surrounded Qin Mu and returned to the village square, singing and dancing, and their troubles were thrown away.

At dusk, the sun sets.

Qin Mu led Xue Rengui, Xu Zhaolin and a group of strong men back to Chang'an City.

Purchasing tools and farm tools tomorrow to rebuild Mangya Village.

Royal Palace.

Ganlu Temple.

Li Erduan sat on the futon and read the memorial under the dim oil lamp.

"Your Majesty, this is the ins and outs of the whole thing."

Li Junxian stood aside, speaking respectfully.

What Qin Mu did in Mangya Village today has been heard by Li Er.

"He really did that?"

Li Er put down the memorial, looked up at Li Junxian, his brows danced with joy, quite satisfied.

Li Junxian nodded and replied: "That's right, the son-in-law not only sent a large amount of food to Mangya Village, but also helped the people of Mangya Village buy farm tools, repair houses, and promised to exempt them from taxes."

"Exemption from taxes?" Li Er frowned slightly, "This is really strange, just relying on the 500 taels of gold extorted from Wang Xuanlin to sit and eat?"

"It's not like sitting and eating. The son-in-law asked the people of Mangya Village to help him make wine, and he sold it in the shop under the West Market of Chang'an City." Li Junxian responded.

"Heh..." Li Er showed contempt, "Selling wine? How much can you sell for? I don't know what it means."

Li Er dismissed Qin Mu's idea. He didn't expect Qin Mu's eyes to be so narrow.

"Hmph..." Li Er continued to snort coldly, "There will be a day when he can't make it through and comes to beg me."

"Also, he is not a son-in-law yet. Don't be an old son-in-law. The son-in-law is always talking about it. Call him a quasi-son-in-law."

"Hehe, what Your Majesty said is true." Li Junxian smiled awkwardly, "There is also a small episode..."

Li Junxian hurriedly changed the topic, and told Li Er that Zhao Jinquan and Guo Baochun had colluded with each other, secretly exchanged money, and wanted to annex the land of Mangya Village.

"This bastard broke his legs again?" Li Er exclaimed, and then changed the topic suddenly, "But Zhao Jinquan and Guo Baochun are so presumptuous, they dare to do such a thing of annexing farmers' land, it's really hard to live Getting impatient."

"Qin Mu interrupted Zhao Jinquan's dog legs, that's all for taking advantage of him."

Mentioning the matter of land annexation, Li Er stood up from the futon.

If land annexation becomes more and more popular, it will lead to the outbreak of peasant wars and push Datang to destruction.

Historically, such examples abound.

Li Er was also extremely disgusted.

Among them, the annexation of land by the five surnames and Qiwang is the most serious, but Li Er has been unable to deal with this matter.

It's not that he doesn't want to make efforts, it's just that he has just ascended the throne, the five surnames and seven expectations are deeply entrenched and intertwined, and officials everywhere are panic-stricken, so this matter cannot be implemented at all.

Today, it has exhausted the court's energy to stabilize the situation in the Tang Dynasty and stop rebellion.

"That's right." Li Junxian echoed from the side, "The concubine...the quasi-concubine also said that the annexation of land and the removal of its roots don't necessarily have to be drastic and gnaw hard bones, but do what is within one's ability. The flies swatted, and the countryside encircled the cities."

These words were indeed said by Qin Mu, but Li Junxian polished them up a bit.

If Li Er knew Qin Mu said that the court was incompetent, he would have to run away.

"Do what you can..."

"Start with the fly swatter..."

"The countryside surrounds the city..."

Li Er walked around the hall, secretly thinking about these new words Qin Mu said.

"Oh, why didn't I expect that this bastard has such insight!"

Li Er understood the deep meaning, his eyes lit up, and he was extremely shocked.

Qin Mu had inadvertently found a way for the imperial court to curb land annexation.

If these flies were swatted, the imperial court would still be free to do so.

It is more than enough to not touch the five surnames and Qiwang, and these unscrupulous little family members who ignore the law.

"Jun Xian, quickly bring Wei Zheng, Fuji, Xuanling, and Keming to me. I have important matters to discuss with them."

Li Er was very excited, and his affection for Qin Mu deepened.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Junxian clapped his hands in response, turned around and was about to leave.

"By the way, Junxian." Li Er called out again.

Li Junxian turned around and asked doubtfully, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Li Er showed a serious face, and said quietly: "Don't be an old son-in-law from now on, it's so ugly to call a son-in-law, just call him master son-in-law."

Hearing this, Li Junxian was taken aback for a moment, then said with a smile: "It's Your Majesty, I will always remember it."

Li Junxian smiled helplessly in his heart.

Your Majesty, the old double standard.

Chapter 45: Measures, etc., are not easy to come by (2/4)

Li Junxian went out of the palace and invited all the big Tang humerus who were about to get under the bed just now to the palace.

Several people are used to it.

Back then in Prince Qin's Mansion, they talked all night long, that was a common occurrence, not new.

In the dead of night, all sounds are silent.

Ganlu Temple.

Several humerus ministers gathered in the hall and sat down.

Changsun Wuji picked up the teacup, took a sip, woke up, looked up at Li Er, and asked, "Your Majesty, what's the big deal for you to call us here late at night?"

After the words fell, everyone's eyes fell on Li Er who was in front of him.

Li Er tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and followed his train of thought, "This matter is related to land annexation, which is becoming more and more popular, and it is considered a major event."

Hearing that it was related to land annexation, several people looked at each other, then looked serious, and looked at Li Er solemnly.

"Your Majesty, I have discussed this matter with Wei Zheng and Xuan Ling in the past few days..." Du Ruhui spoke first, breaking the silence, "But I haven't come up with any measures against the five surnames and seven wangs."

"You know, the five surnames and seven Wangs are intertwined, with students all over the world. It is impossible to borrow local officials to do anything. If they are transferred from the imperial court, they are afraid that the local officials will mistakenly think that the remnant party of the hidden prince will be arrested and cause a mutiny. .”

The rest of the people listened and nodded repeatedly.

At this time, this situation is completely powerless.

Li Er picked up the teacup, took a sip without haste, blowing on the hot air.

"It's okay, I have already thought of measures to deal with land annexation."

When the words fell, everyone was shocked. Li Er summoned them here late at night, and it turned out that he had already had an idea, no wonder he was so calm.

Putting down the teacup, Li Er glanced at the crowd, full of confidence, and spoke slowly.

"Suppressing land mergers is not difficult. The key is to find the right method. The five surnames and seven hope are hard bones. Why do we have to keep an eye on them? We must do what we can..."

Everyone listened and thought to themselves.

Li Er looked at the few people with solemn brows, with a little complacency on his face.

"We can start with the fly swatters of those small gatekeepers, encircle the cities from the villages, and cut off the intricate network of relationships between the five surnames and seven Wangs."

When the ministers heard this, their eyes lit up, and they suddenly realized that they were very shocked.

Li Er's words opened up a new way of thinking for them.

"That's right, why do we keep our eyes on the five surnames and seven surnames? There are also many landlords who have annexed their land, and we can take them down."

"Your Majesty is too right. We can't deal with the five surnames and seven Wangs now. If we fight these little flies, aren't they easy to catch?"

"Your Majesty, your move is a good strategy, and I admire you very much."

What Li Er said made everyone admire him.

Government affairs to curb land mergers can finally be carried out.

Listening to everyone's boast, Li Er was complacent.

Comfort is so comfortable.

It's not easy to take actions or something.

"Hehe..." Li Erji smiled indifferently, "I also came up with it unintentionally, and it's not a good idea."

"If this is feasible, Wei Zheng will take the lead in doing it."

There is a reason why Li Er chose Wei Zheng to handle this matter.

After all, Wei Zheng is an ex-officer of the Crown Prince Yin, so if he handles things, it will reduce many people's grudges.

He would not simply think that Li Er was using an excuse to eliminate dissidents.

This is also the reason why Li Er tried his best to keep Wei Zheng under his account.

Li Junxian turned his head to look at the serious Li Er, in disbelief.

Is this the move you want?

I came up with it unintentionally, and it's not a good idea...

Can you show some face, this is obviously what the son-in-law said.

Good guy, that's a great idea.

Li Er felt Li Junxian's gaze, looked at him, and said in a deep voice, "Junxian, what do you have to say..."

Only then did he realize that he forgot to dismiss this fellow.

But it doesn't matter, he knows Li Junxian in detail, what should be said and what should not be said.

"No...no..."

Li Junxian waved his hands again and again, smiling awkwardly.

He looked at Li Er's eyes and knew the meaning: If you dare to talk nonsense, I will cut you off.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to handle this matter well."

On the side, Wei Zheng promised Li Er a ticket.

This can be regarded as the first government affairs for Li Shimin.

"That's right." Li Er ignored Li Junxian, turned his head and continued to Wei Zheng: "I got the exact news that Zhao Jinquan from the Zhao family in Chang'an and Guo Baochun, the magistrate of Qingshan County, secretly communicated with each other to annex the land. You investigate together."

"Take the two of them first, and the crime will be added to the third class, and we will never tolerate it!"

"I don't ask about the process, but only look at the results. If you dare to annex the land, you will be thrown into death row."

As Li Er spoke, his words became colder, and murderous intentions gradually appeared in his eyes.

Listening to Li Er's words, everyone felt his decisiveness this time.

Afterwards, after discussing some details, everyone resigned.

Looking at the backs of the humerus leaving, Li Er couldn't help but feel complacent.

This Qin Mu not only has first-rate ability to cause trouble, but also has some foresight, so marrying Xiangcheng to him will not be a disadvantage.

It seems that in the future, I still have to go to the Qin Mansion to walk around more.
