Chapter 471 The Old Sow Wears a Bra
In the early summer of this year, Liu Yishou, who was on official business in Jiankang, wrote to the imperial court, suggesting that the current reign name "Zhongdatong" set by Xiao Yan a few years ago should be changed to the new year name "Jianwen", which means "establishing Wenzhi".

This year name was obviously in line with Xiao Huan's appetite, and it also matched the preferences of many courtiers in the Jiankang Center. In addition, it was proposed by Liu Yishou himself, so the court passed almost unimpeded.

Xiao Huan also hopes to show off his "new fashion" since he took the throne.Those people from all walks of life who have just come to power, no matter whether they are on Liu Yishou's side or not, no matter if they are direct descendants, peripherals or even enemies, they all hope that they are different from the situation in Xiao Yan's era.

The year name of Jianwen is almost the greatest common divisor in Liang Guo's political circle today.Changing the year name is a trivial matter, but sometimes it is a major event that cannot be ignored and has a strong symbolic meaning!
After the reign title of Jianwen was adopted in the court center, Liu Yishou has already used this casual gadget to test the water temperature in Liang Guo's political arena today.

Soon, Liu Yishou wrote a letter again, saying that since the founding of Liang Guo, the vicissitudes of life in various places have changed a lot. The original residents on many lands have been displaced, the procedures for new arrivals are not complete, and various incidents of doves occupying magpies' nests have occurred.

Therefore, it is hoped that in Jiankang and surrounding areas, as well as in Sanwu, a detailed and proper land inspection will be carried out.

If the cultivator owns the land, the title deed shall be renewed.If the dove occupies the magpie's nest, it will be resettled, and the land that should be divided should be punished.Those who live without land shall live on the land as appropriate.

There are also a small number of plundered and plundered lands that occupy much more than the land allocation policy, and the state will take back the excess land.

All kinds of land inspection rules are written in great detail, including how to survey the land area and how to calculate the Dingkou of each household.

Not only that, but Liu Yishou proposed to set up a new yamen in Taicheng City, named "Tu Duan Si", which specializes in dealing with land disputes in various places. From the clan and royal family to the rich and local tyrants, there is nothing that cannot be ruled.

In short, it can be summarized as: tyranny of all kinds of dissatisfaction!

If it was a few months ago, that's all. If the land is divided, it will be divided. After all, many of them are idle.

And to divide the land before the autumn harvest, this trick can be said to be vicious.What is divided is not only the land, but also the harvest of this year.This time, those who don't want to jump out have to stand up and oppose it.

Sure enough, as soon as this strategy was implemented, a single stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the inside and outside of Jiankang City were completely blown up.Chen Yuankang sent people to record all the officials who stood up to oppose the land inspection, but they did not publish, did not respond to any criticism, and did not stand up to explain.

For a while, everyone didn't understand what Liu Yishou wanted to do.After all, without the full operation of the state apparatus, it would be impossible to carry out this matter!
That's right, Liu Yishou is indeed holding a heavy army, has entered the main center, and he can say what he says, and he is almost an unambiguous existence in Jiankang.

However, as the center of Jiankang with a huge bureaucracy, Liu Yishou's influence is also indirect rather than direct.In many cases, he has to "follow people's hearts" to do things, otherwise, he can only learn from Dong Zhuo and Er Zhurong and use a knife to make people shut up.

Taking a ten thousand step back, Liu Yishou is not the emperor now, and there is no way to replace Liang Guo's huge central organization, inside and out, with his own people, and he doesn't have so many "own people".

However, Liu Yishou has made up his mind on this matter, and there is no room for some people to change their minds.

Previously, Liu Yishou and Chen Yuankang only made suggestions and released rumors without actual details.So the aristocratic families in Jiankang and the land of the Three Wus thought that this time it was just someone trying to prevent the rain from thundering, and they didn't take it seriously.

Now that he has issued detailed rules, and even established a new specialized agency, it can be said that the arrow is on the string and has to be launched!

On this day, in a mansion near Dongfu City, where Jiankang City belongs, Wang, Xie, Yuan, Gu, Lu, Zhu, Zhang and other representatives of the local gentry from the Southern Dynasties gathered together to discuss Liu Yishou's recent strategy of land severance.

In fact, Wang Gui and Xie Gu had already communicated with Liu Yishou before, and had conveyed Liu Yishou's meaning.But when the opinions were passed back, fierce disputes erupted within these aristocratic families.

Almost every family is supportive and opposing.If the imperial court implements the land cut policy, they will inevitably lose a large amount of illegal land.These lands have been accumulated by these families for many generations, almost all of which are the best fields in the area.

If you don't want to be executed by the court, that's fine too.As an aristocratic family that "supported the Northern Expedition", it was a matter of course that they gave money and people to the court, to be precise, to Liu Yishou.

For the aristocratic family, there are also some hidden benefits. At least, those people from the north will not occupy new territory.

Therefore, no matter how you choose this matter, there are advantages and disadvantages. There are many children in the family, some are officials, some are not, and their interests are not the same.

So these big families gathered together today to discuss countermeasures and decide to advance and retreat together.

"Everyone, in my opinion, King Wu's name is Tuduan, but he is actually preparing food and grass for the war ahead. As long as we bring out the food reserves, we can stop the strategy of Tuduan. King Wu's troops are strong and powerful, everyone, don't make mistakes. "

Wang Guiyu said earnestly.

"That's a bad word!"

An old man from the Zhang family stood up and objected: "Liu Yishou once wrote The Theory of the Six Kingdoms: cut five cities today, cut ten cities tomorrow, and then have to sleep overnight. We start to look at the four realms, and the Qin army is at the end. We beg For a moment of peace, cut the meat to feed the tiger. Liu Yishou is an insatiable greedy person, how much meat do we have for him to cut?"

"Old man, there is a time and a time. Even if we don't pay, can't the king of Wu have a way to punish us? Are there still few things that bully men and women in various places? The king of Wu only needs to grab a random place, and he can do it." Hold on to our vitals.

First there was Huan Wen Tu Duan, and then Liu Yu Tu Duan. After so many years, life is still the same! "

Soon, someone refuted Zhang's representative, and the lobby started to quarrel again, just like the situation within these people's families.

"Everyone, please listen to the next sentence."

Yuan Ang came out and waved his hands, signaling to everyone to be calm.

This man was Sikong back then, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and many people present had children under his care, so they all kept silent.

"What King Wu wants is food and grass. As for whose family's food and grass, he will only remember who didn't give it. If you don't give food and grass, you don't give him face. Everyone present should understand this truth."

After Yuan Ang finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought.It's very simple, if the other family supplies food and grass, but yours does not, you are slapping Liu Yishou in the face.

If you hit someone in the face with your palm, don't blame him for chopping off your head with a knife!This is a very simple truth.

"King Wu has hinted that he only needs enough food for the army. If you don't want to take it from the treasury, in fact, there are plenty of food and grass in the surrounding temples. Why not use it?"

temple?Everyone was taken aback when they heard this.

It's not like Wang Gui and others didn't tell them that they could get ideas from the temple, but they didn't pay much attention.Now hearing what Yuan Ang said, everyone present began to think seriously.

Under Xiao Yan's "drive", Nanliang's Buddhist business is very prosperous. One tenth of Nanliang's population is engaged in activities related to temples. Of course, these people are not purely monks who live in temples. .

There are also some "not full-time" monks who have to go home to help when the farming is busy, and only go to the temple to chant Buddha when the farming is slack.

The Buddhist temple, which accounts for one-tenth of the country's population, how much food they have in store, I am afraid that the people of these aristocratic families present can't even think about it.

A dead fellow Taoist would never die a poor one, and extracting oil from temples is obviously a low-cost, high-yield job.It's just that the temple was protected by an official background before, and ordinary people really couldn't afford to offend it.

But now that Liu Yishou has spoken, does that mean things are turning around?

There are actually major conflicts between the powerful families and temples in various places in terms of land enclosure, but out of the principle of "mutual checks and balances", when Xiao Yan was in power, the two parties were still in peace with each other.

After all, it is much easier to oppress ordinary people than to harden Buddhism.

But now Liu Yishou puts out a multiple-choice question, do you want to pay the food yourself, or "pull" the Buddhist temple to accompany you to pay?
Anyone can do this multiple choice question.

"Since this is the case, then we will write to the imperial court, saying that some temples are harming the place, lending usury, and recruiting nuns to gather money to make trouble. How? Such things, don't we catch a lot of them?"

Gu Yewang's father Gu Xuan said with a smile.He is a second-five son hidden among the crowd, and his son Gu Yewang is already working as a secretary under Liu Yishou's command.

He himself was an official in Wu County before.Last time Wu Jun contributed money to sponsor the Northern Expedition at a critical moment, and he also contributed in it.Now it has been transferred to Jiankang Center.

"Wouldn't it be great for us to do it together after the imperial court issued an edict to rectify the temple?"

Gu Xuan touched the long beard on his chin and said.

"Wonderful!"

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?"

There were no fools present, and he came back to his senses in no time.

It is said to borrow the east wind, what if there is no wind?
Then cheer up and blow more, won't you be in the limelight then?With the imperial edict and the government's endorsement behind it, wouldn't it be easy to get a little grain out of the mouth of the temple?

Soon, these people reached a consensus to extract oil from the local Buddhist temple as much as possible, and count as much as possible.As for the shortfall, each family can make up for it with a little more at that time. I believe this amount will not hurt the bones.

Gu Xuan's family has a long history, and the article is very well written.He wrote a letter of proposal on the spot, asked everyone present to sign it, and handed it to Wang Gui.

Hand over this proposal to Liu Yishou, and the two sides will be considered to have reached a political compromise.The imperial court was responsible for issuing edicts to rectify the temples, and the aristocratic families from all over the country were responsible for reporting, and were responsible for being "enthusiastic people" and controlling the temples to be investigated before the government sent people.

As for the families without signatures above, it is equivalent to accepting Tuduan by default, and Liu Yishou will not show mercy to them.

After everything is completed, each family will hoard all the grain and grass in the newly built granary in Danyang, and the government will send people to inspect it uniformly.

……

A few days later, Jian'an Ling (the attendant who waited by the emperor and was responsible for delivering the imperial decree) Gu Xun wrote a letter, saying that there was a Buddhist temple in Wu County, his hometown, Wu County, which was not doing business properly, gathering money to make chaos, buying and selling people, etc., and asked the court to issue an order to investigate and deal with it.

The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.

The next day, Liu Yishou, the King of Wu, wrote a letter saying: Buddhist temples have not been investigated for a long time, and old scum has appeared.

Please ask the emperor to issue an edict to conduct an inventory of Buddhist temples across the country. If there are any mistakes, they will be corrected, and if there are no mistakes, they will be praised.It is neither to destroy Buddha, nor to condone and support those who commit crimes by turning a blind eye to them.

For a while, there were rumors all over Jiankang and Sanwu, saying that a certain temple gave usury to kill people, that a certain temple opened a silver cave and played songs every night, and that monks in a certain temple violated Xiao Yan's prohibition by drinking and eating meat.

There are chickens and dogs jumping everywhere.

The strange thing is that the local government is standing still, but the people are excited. Many enthusiastic people spontaneously surrounded the problematic temples and waited for the government to deal with them.

……

The weather in early summer is sultry, and on the shore of Xuanwu Lake, fish are showing their heads on the water from time to time, spitting out bubbles.

It was the hottest time in the afternoon, and Liu Yishou was sitting on a big rock in the shade of a tree, wearing a bamboo hat, and fishing with a bamboo pole.

Many fish came out to spit bubbles, but they just didn't take the bait. Liu Yishou felt that he could knock out several fish with one blow.

"Amitabha, there are a lot of disturbances outside, and the younger brother is actually fishing here?"

A familiar voice came from behind Liu Yishou.

You don't need to look back to know it's Master Daoxi.Liu Yishou asked lazily: "Which gust of wind brought Master Daoxi here, sit here, sit here."

Liu Yishou patted the place beside him.

Master Daoxi sat down unceremoniously, and asked with a bitter face: "A lot of things have happened around Jiankang and Sanwu, have you ever heard of them?"

Master Daoxi continued to ask calmly: "Could it be that the younger brother wants to destroy the Buddha?"

"Brother, monks can't talk nonsense. I'm an authentic Luoyang monk who has placed an order in the government of Wei State. You said that I want to destroy Buddha, are you thinking too much?"

Liu Yishou took out the ultimatum he had obtained back then from his bosom, and waved it in front of Master Daoxi.

"So many Buddhist temples have been investigated by the government recently, what's going on?"

Master Daoxi asked in a deep voice.

"Have you found a problem?"

Liu Yishou asked back.

Master Daoxi was speechless for a moment.

It doesn't matter whether there is a problem or not, as long as it is checked, the problem will definitely be found.Although the Buddha is lofty, the Buddhist temple is secular. How can it be okay to control the food and drink of a group of people.

It's just to see if there is a bottom line. Some bottom lines are higher, and some have no bottom line at all. As long as the government is willing to investigate, the problem will definitely be found out!

"This is a lot of big families who are targeting Buddhist temples! Because Buddhist temples hand over food, they don't have to pay. This is also an established strategy.

If senior brothers feel sorry for those Buddhist temples, why not ask them to check the aristocratic family too?Many people from those aristocratic families did bad things.If I find them, I will naturally clean them up. At that time, won't the local temples not be investigated?

I want military rations for the sake of the country and the unification of the world. Senior brother will understand this, right? "

Liu Yishou didn't go around the bush, but explained his intention straight to the point.

"It's been so many years... You really haven't changed at all."

Master Daoxi gave a wry smile, now that he is the abbot of Tongtai Temple, he is already the abbot of Tongtai Temple, so he is naturally not worried about being traced.But Liu Yishou's series of combined punches made it difficult for all Buddhist temples to parry!

"Brother, let's go and tell the people in the temple that I will never wrong others out of nothing. Eliminating evil and doing everything is not aimed at Buddhist temples. If the aristocratic family has evil deeds, I must take care of it."

This was quite clear, Master Daoxi folded his hands together, bowed deeply to Liu Yishou, then turned and left without saying a single unnecessary word.

"If you don't have enough to eat, how can you challenge Gao Huan? You people, you really have such a beautiful idea."

Liu Yishou sighed quietly, so many fish spit bubbles today, as if they were mocking him for not knowing how to fish, which made him feel bad.
