Although it is in the Middle Ages, the scale of Chang'an City is not small. The knights carrying the elixir walked along the long street, and it took more than half an hour to circle the city, spreading mixed lime everywhere. the bait.Although they were all armed and vigilant, the warriors on horseback did not show any hostility, so civilians gradually gathered in the streets and alleys, watching the various people rolling, twitching and wailing on the street in daze and amazement; The curiosity of the few overwhelmed their timidity, and they even moved quietly, following this extremely weird horse team.

The soldiers on the horse team did not stop the crowd of onlookers, but the royal horses walked slowly, letting a long line of people follow behind them.

This time, the event is not so much a spy to implement the national policy on drug control, but rather an opportunity to clean up the mess for King Qi's actions.Although their palace change plan is quick and quick, and the results are extremely fast, troubles of all sizes are also coming one after another.Although the rites and music in the Middle Ages were ruined and the clothes were ruined, no one dared to violate the basic political correctness. Such a violent abolition of the monarch and self-reliance in broad daylight is a moral loophole that cannot be explained in any dynasty.

If it's just that the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong and become the emperor, and they don't care about the consequences, then they can't care so much if they sit in a good position.But the plan of the crossing team is to use King Qi as a springboard to integrate the north and the south, thus completely ending the chaotic world of separation and separatism for hundreds of years, and even reforming the system and transferring industries after the settlement, establishing an unprecedented great civilization.And if such an unprecedented great civilization is accidentally tainted with the reputation of usurping too deeply, then the legitimacy of the fine brushwork in history books in the future will inevitably be somewhat embarrassing...

With such a political consideration, the plan of the crossing team in Chang'an City is quite clear.Their purpose is not to eradicate the upper class of the Northern Dynasty politically (although they will use violence when they have to), but to completely eradicate the influence of these decadent nobles in political and social influence, and instead promote the whole society to adapt to a more advanced and Efficient governance system.Of course, it is extremely difficult to achieve this goal - the nobles of the Northern Dynasty have been entrenched in the upper class for a long time, and they have formed entangled interest groups in the entire social system subtly, and it will not be cleaned up overnight; In the Middle Ages, they were only weak outsiders.As for King Qi, King Qi... expecting this kind of warrior who has risen from the army to compete with nobles from aristocratic families for the territory of culture and public opinion, that is purely overthinking.

But thanks to the whimsy of the emperor's little genius, this brazen method of using pills to control the cerebral palsy of his subordinates gave the traversers a wonderful opportunity-the common people of the Li people might be in awe of the unfathomable present who is high in school, rich, and rich. Axis dignitaries, but as long as the brain is not flooded, then who will respect a poor poisonous insect who collapses on the ground after the onset of addiction and only drools?

As for the emperor? ——It is only natural for such a faint, tyrant, and senseless king to be ordered to depose or even imprisoned for questioning his loyal subjects.And the counterattack of the so-called royal faction... Just look at the miserable end of the emperor's confidantes, who else dares to be loyal to this kind of thing without a brain?

For such a beautiful thing that kills three birds with one stone and eats both sides, the traversers naturally strongly supported it and gave key instructions to the cavalry.Therefore, patrolling the inside and outside of Chang'an city with the elixir residue this time is not so much to arrest the emperor's confidantes and clean up the remnants of the party, but rather to provide dignitaries with opportunities to perform ugly acts of drug addiction in public. Stone mill, be sure to turn 360 degrees in a circle and throw this person.

The effect of walking around like this is excellent.Most of the emperor's confidantes were wiped out in the palace, and the remaining shrimps and millets were insignificant, so they could only wander around the streets and alleys to inquire about news. The pills are going through the day again and again, and now that the emperor is caught and the pills are broken, no matter how dangerous it is, they can't stop their idea of ​​finding the pills. As a result, they didn't inquire about the news, but they were hooked by the pills.So internal and external factors seduced the heart addiction and immediately broke out, and there was a human social death reward on the street.

These people are just insignificant in front of Huang Quan, and they are still domineering noble family snakes in Chang'an, usually rampant and unscrupulous.Now that the ugliness broke out suddenly, the surrounding people were amazed and unbelievable. Amidst the horror and horror, they couldn't help feeling a little disdain.

After such a grandiose parade, the cavalry returned to the gate of the palace with a huge group of civilians watching the excitement.The blood-stained mud in front of the palace gate and the slumped clan children have been cleaned up, and a black and white banner fluttered on the palace wall.Most of the people who followed were illiterate, only a few educated people who graduated from prenatal education stared at the banner for a long time, and barely recognized a few weird and basically nonsensical words such as "original heart" and "anti-drug".

Of course, no matter how nonsensical it is, no one dares to complain in front of the fully armed soldier.The leading knight looked up at the banner, finally took out a metal horn, cleared his throat, and began to popularize the "anti-drug policy" to a group of ignorant onlookers who were enthusiastic about eating melons.

His introduction was concise and easy to understand, and it can be summed up in one sentence: Those dandy snakes in Chang'an City who are rolling around all over the floor and making a fool of themselves have all taken the imperial family's elixir, and they are so painful after being poisoned.Everything like this time is an ironclad proof that the emperor intentionally abused the ministers. Today's change is purely the result of King Qi being forced to defend himself; of course, Prince Qi's mansion is kind and generous, and is willing to invite famous doctors to help those who have been poisoned by the elixir Subjects are out of control.

"...It's just that the potion is really powerful, and it won't take a while to get cured." The knight spoke calmly, with a solemn tone, as if he was truly compassionate: "Given these people have such severe symptoms, they can't move at will until they are cured." Yes. In addition, the elixir is widely distributed, and I am afraid that many people still have private possessions in their homes. Therefore, what we mean is to search for the residual poison of the elixir according to the list collected today, and reimburse it by the way. Medical expenses."

These few words are plain (although I don't understand the reimbursement or something), some young people look confused and haven't heard the clue yet.But the old people have experienced the world for a long time, but they can hear the fierce moves under this plain sentence.They made eye contact with each other, and they all agreed:

This is obviously going to steal the house!

Of course, it is common sense to copy the houses of political opponents after the palace change, and the common people accept it well.However, the knight on the horse stopped for a while, and then threw out another operation that made the natives drop their jaws:

He said that in order to show "openness and transparency", "absolutely selfless", and "take from the people and use it for the people", he invited the people of Chang'an to visit the house raiding activity together!

When King Qi picked up the thin rice paper, the expression on his face was almost as incredible as that of the people in Chang'an, even though there was only one suggestion on it:

——After investigation, the emperor's cronies are domineering and domineering in Chang'an, causing serious disasters; they plan to confiscate all their family properties and distribute them to the poor in Chang'an to reassure people's hearts.

He read the little white paper carefully word by word several times before finally making sure that he read it correctly.But even so, King Qi still couldn't believe it:

"This this--"

"Gold, silver, pearls, and jade cannot be clothed in the cold, and cannot be eaten by the hungry. Your Highness—no, your majesty—why should you miss it?" Wang Zhidao said: "Mr. Meng Chang camped the three caves of the cunning rabbit, and he gave the people debts, so he accepted Xue Ren's heart. Not to mention just Is it just to share a little property with the generosity of others?"

King Qi swallowed, still feeling unbelievable.Of course he understood what the other party meant—once the money of the emperor's cronies was given to the common people in Chang'an as compensation, then the hearts of the people would be bound by the heavy profits, and the next thing would be much easier.

But, but...

King Qi thought for a long time, and finally found a reason to decline politely:

"This time, the officers and soldiers have made great contributions to the capital. If all the family property is rewarded to the people in the capital, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be unstable."

Mu Chen smiled, but didn't seem to care:

"Your Majesty, that's too much to worry about." He said: "We have found out clearly that these high-ranking ministers, clans, and capital dandies are all owners of countless manors of fertile land and tens of thousands of hectares. You have done a lot, I don’t think it’s as good as this. —— Confiscate the fields of these people and distribute them equally to the soldiers of the Northern Army to cultivate them forever. How about taking one out of ten of the crops from the fields as taxes? How about this king in the Southern Dynasty? That’s how it works, and it works really well.”

King Qi was basically so dumbfounded that he was almost speechless:

"This, this, this—"

Mu Chen and Wang Zhi admired the rare surprise on the face of this scheming careerist, and almost couldn't hold back the bursts of laughter in their stomachs.With the insight of more than a thousand years ahead, they certainly know what this person is worried about - to put it bluntly, depriving the rich and powerful of all the land and rewarding soldiers from poor backgrounds, this kind of operation of mass production of self-cultivating farmers is almost fundamental. Shaking the manor system economy in the Middle Ages is, to put it bluntly, tantamount to contending with the historical trend of the entire society.Of course, with King Qi's knowledge, he may not be able to grasp any social trends.But with his political acumen, this veteran politician should be able to guess the consequences of dividing the land: for hundreds of years, you have come and gone on the throne, usurping power and so on is not worth mentioning; Tian—this is the rebellious behavior of rebels like Huangjin and Sun En. How can they say it openly?

In the final analysis, King Qi is still an excellent politician from the gentry and landlord class and cultivated by traditional feudal morality. Although his brain does not realize that the means of production are divided into public ownership, even if he thinks about it based on the position of his buttocks, he will instinctively think about it. I know it's wrong!

But Hengyang Palace is really powerful, King Qi racked his brains, and finally he can only find a reason that is not a reason:

"This, this kind of thing has never had a precedent, and there is no sign in history. I'm afraid it's not appropriate..."

"Please don't worry about this." Wang Zhi immediately replied with a smile: "It is a great thing to divide the land for the soldiers. We built—our Taoyuan ancestors have experimented, and they can train an invincible army from scratch." The Iron Army mostly relies on the land reform, the so-called crackdown on the local tyrants, the division—"

He paused, swallowed the last few words, but quickly smiled again:

"After the fields are divided, the morale of the soldiers will be high and they will move forward bravely. There is no need to worry about this."

King Qi was taken aback for a moment, but could only remain silent in the end.He was from the military, so he knew how attractive the land was to ordinary soldiers. If he could really get a few acres of fertile land, he would be his own dead soldiers from top to bottom.But, but—but with Sun En, the Yellow Turban, etc., how to explain it in the future when facing the full court dress?

Maybe it was because of his doubts.Xiang Liang spoke slowly, dispelling King Qi's last worry—or an excuse.

"Don't worry." He said slowly: "We can guarantee that we will be able to convince all the nobles in Chang'an City with the truth, so that they will willingly donate their fields..."
