Instead, we should lean towards the poor and select truly talented pillars of governance. "

"I don't understand. You have been working in the court for several years and know all the officials well. Why can't you stay in the court and help me? If you kill Xie Kun, even if it is not suitable for you to return to your post, I can also demote you and punish you. It's the same if you get promoted after a few years. Why do you have to leave?" Zhou Yu couldn't hide his disappointment, and questioned Qi Dai.

Qi Dai didn't expect Zhou Yu's reaction to be so big, but it made him a little speechless, but facing Zhou Yu's sincere gaze, Qi Dai couldn't help but said: "The person who stands in the court is a minister. I am not only a minister of Your Majesty, but also a minister of the world. As a minister, I am unable to do so, so I do not want to be a minister of the world."

"then you……"

"I just want to help you." Qi Dai finally said this sentence, he tried his best to say this sentence as calmly as possible, so that people could not hear the hidden turbulent waves.

Zhou Yu's puzzlement only lasted for a moment, and he soon realized that Qi Dai's reluctance to be a courtier was due to his selfishness, and his selfishness... was himself!

Zhou Yu's heart was shocked, and before he could speak in the future, Qi Dai continued: "Courier, I have done enough, good people, I have done enough. Many things in this world cannot be done by good people. Since you are me The chosen assistant, from now on, I will do what the courtiers can't do."

Zhou Yu was shaken for a while, and confused for a while. As a king, he had to do a lot of things, and some of them could be done by the courtiers on the bright side. Some of them are not on the table, and those who do these things are destined to be shamed, and even slandered and misunderstood by people all over the world.As Qi Dai said, it is natural to want to be the latter kind of person.Throughout the dynasties, those who were willing to do this kind of thing were out of ambition and profit, but Qi Dai obviously had the reputation of Jiyue Qingfeng and could be an important minister of the Dingding court, so why would he put all his eggs in one basket and do something shady?

Is it for myself...

Zhou Yu suppressed the speculation in his heart, stared at Qi Dai, and tried to find evidence from his seemingly indestructible appearance.His gaze finally fell on Qi Dai's slightly trembling fingers, and more than half of Qi Dai's hands were hidden in the cuffs of his prison clothes. If he was wearing a shirt with large sleeves on weekdays, the position of Qi Dai's fingers would be absolutely impossible for Zhou Yu See, but at this moment, Qi Dai probably forgot to wear the prison clothes whose cuffs are much shorter than the big-sleeve shirts, so the unnatural trembling of his fingers fell into Zhou Yu's eyes.

Zhou Yu no longer had any doubts, and stretched out his hand to caress Qi Dai's shoulder as usual, Qi Dai's original standard gentle smile suddenly froze, and Zhou Yu pulled Qi Dai into his arms with a firm palm.He was slightly taller than Qi Dai, and at this moment, he could clearly feel Qi Dai's hair trembling and his whole body stiff as he was suddenly hugged.Zhou Yu said in a deep voice: "Sijun, you are not selfish, it is personal love."

Qi Dai is in chaos, he has been dormant in the court for several years, and he has already perfected his ability to hide himself, but every time he meets Zhou Yu, all his disguises seem to disappear.What Zhou Yu said was right, he was assisting him not because of selfishness but because of personal affection.Qi Dai himself can't tell when this affair started, but when he realized it, he had already put his own life and death aside, secretly detained the family members of hundreds of officials, and killed Xie Kun in the Shenwu Hall. One piece is not out of public interest, but personal affection.He is willing to pay all the price to let Zhou Yu ascend the throne, and when he ascends to the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, he is willing to clean up the troubled world for eternal darkness, and exchange him for a lifetime of sages.

Zhou Yu sighed for a long time: "When it comes to personal relationships, I ask myself, but I can't have a clear conscience with you. If it weren't for this, I would never agree to this matter."

Qi Dai was shocked, and just about to speak, Zhou Yu interrupted him: "Guess, why did I assume the name Wen Shanjun during the three years of dormancy?"

"Isn't His Majesty's name taboo Junwei, Jun, Congwen, Congshan?"

"It's not just my words from Wen Congshan..." Zhou Yu said softly.

Qi Dai was shocked, and then realized that some things were not coincidences.For example, in my own name, the characters of Qi are from Wen, and the characters of Dai are from Shan...

Zhou Yu's voice rang in his ears, like a whisper, but the words were clear: "Being my courtier, I can only see you every day in the Shenwu Hall, so far away from you, even your face Can’t see clearly. As my private minister, the entire Luoyang Palace can come in and out with you, even if you want to rest in the palace, it’s very cheap. I’ll prepare tea from Guangling for you, and find a Guangling imperial chef to cook for you ..."

"His Majesty……"

"Call me Junwei."

"Well, Junwei."

Volume [-]: Mu Xiu Yu Lin

82, 82.

New beginning two years.Just after the new year, the new emperor Zhou Yu promulgated the first nationwide policy order since he ascended the throne: the family occupation order.

Wuchang, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

Just after the new year, the cold is still very heavy.After Wen Tao was injured, Pu Chen spread blankets in the room and put several charcoal braziers in the room every few cold days. It was so hot that Tang Yu was sweating every time he came in, and he didn't dare to comment on the wise decision of his own master.Wen Tao caught wind and cold a few days ago, and Pu Chen is also responsible for this matter.There was a banquet in the Japanese army that night, Wen Tao drank a few more glasses of wine in the evening, and after taking a bath, he was greedy for the coolness and skipped an outer robe, and Pu Chen insisted on teaching him the newly created right-hand sword technique in the room. It is said that only in the room can you see the movements clearly.Pu Chen couldn't hold him back, so he danced for Wen Tao in only his jacket.Wen Tao was still not satisfied, so he asked Pu Chen to teach him one by one, and giggled as he stepped on the felt with his bare feet.He seldom drank alcohol at ordinary times, his face was full of spring after drinking that day, and he smiled so beautifully, Pu Chen naturally couldn't hold back as he taught and taught, and the two rolled together on the blanket.Afterwards, Wen Tao caught a cold, and Pu Chen regretted it for several days. He wanted to reprimand him for seeing how pitiful his cat was on the bed, but he swallowed the words he blurted out. sock.

At this moment, Wen Tao was wearing a large brocade robe, with his hands tucked into the cuffs and shaking slightly, his eyes staring at the instructions on the case.From the corner of his eye, Pu Chen knew that Wen Tao was using his brain again, so he said dissatisfiedly, "The wind and cold just got better yesterday, so don't worry about it these two days."

Wen Tao brightened his eyes and said, "A Pu, the big families are about to be reshuffled, come and see."

Pu Chen leaned over to Wen Tao's side, and read the policy order on the case from beginning to end.This is a policy order issued by Zhou Yuxun to the major families of the Jing Dynasty a few days ago. The letter reads "The Family Occupation Order", which gave the family half a year to rectify the farmland manors and food town population of each family.Aristocratic families, no matter how big or small, should occupy no more than [-] mu of land, and the population of the food town should not exceed [-] households.Half a year later, the imperial court will appoint special envoys to visit the states. If there are still aristocratic families occupying land in violation of regulations, the imperial court will punish them with serious crimes.

"This policy is aimed at the fate of the aristocratic family." Pu Chen said.

Aristocratic families, most of which have a foundation of hundreds of years, occupy countless lands, and have many children. In the family, there are not only respected elders who teach literature and family knowledge, but also martial arts masters who teach martial arts and art of war, which is equivalent to monopolizing Wenzhiwugong.These aristocratic families, no matter how they govern the world, can always protect themselves wisely.When the Jing Dynasty □□pacified the world, many aristocratic families either sent troops to help or supplemented with strategies. After the Jing Dynasty was established, the aristocratic families basically monopolized the court.The aristocratic family is not only the foundation of the dynasty, but also gradually becomes the ailment of the dynasty.It was almost impossible to get rid of this serious illness, until the Northern Yan invaded the South and almost wiped out the entire Jiangbei.As the saying goes, what can't be broken can't be built, the invasion of the northern Yan and the south, although it brought a lot of disasters, but it also completely disintegrated the foundation of the aristocratic family, and cleared away the obstacles of Zhou Yu's reshuffle like pulling out a whole piece of flesh with abscess.

Wen Tao nodded and said, "Not bad, and the timing is just right."

During Zhou Yan's reign, although many noble families in the north were allowed to return to their homeland to revive their families, after all, time is running out and the families have not yet become established.Zhou Yu made a precise move at this moment, stipulating the number of fields and townships occupied by the aristocratic families, which undoubtedly put iron chains on the aristocratic families.A land of a thousand acres and eight hundred food towns, at the time of the Rebellion of the Seven Kings, was not a scale at all. At this moment, Jiangbei has just been liberated, and this rule is not too harsh.The aristocratic family was given a half-year rectification period. After half a year, if there were still illegal enclosures, the imperial court could justifiably strike hard.In this way, the land occupied by the aristocratic family can be taken back by the imperial court, and the second step of dividing the land among the people can be implemented.Zhou Yu's move was subtle, not only did he not immediately suppress the aristocratic family that had not yet become powerful in Jiangbei, but also laid the foundation for returning the land to the people in the future.

"Apu, your Pu clan's origin is in Jinyang, Bingzhou. At its peak, there were tens of thousands of acres of land and thousands of food towns. Since this policy is in your hands, I'm afraid you have to rectify it."

Pu Chen nodded: "Our Pu family originally had a very deep foundation in Jinyang. After the northern Yan invaded the south, the foundation of many years was burned. Now, since Jiangbei has been recovered, although my branch has not moved back to its original place, the side branch has It’s hard to say, they are probably enclosing land in Jinyang right now.”

"How much land did your Pu family occupy in the first place? How much food town?"

Pu Chen thought for a while and said: "Before my father took charge, the Pu family was only a medium-sized family, occupying more than [-] mu of land, and more than [-] households in the food town. None of them exceeded the regulations of the family's land occupation order."

"Then do you have the household registration population of each branch of the Pu family now?" Wen Tao raised his eyes.

"My branch is the direct branch, and the population of other branches will be reported to me every year. This year's household registration population of each branch was just sent a year ago."

"Give it to me." Wen Tao said simply.

"What are you doing?"

"Help you divide the fields
