Governor please stay

Chapter 536 The Iron Fist of Harmonious Society

On the second day, Yang Jiang, who had been tossed by Liu Yishou all night, put on men's clothes, pretended to be a servant, and followed the other party to participate in the flowing water banquet held at the gate of Jiankangtai City.

The flowing water mat extends from the place where the Taimiao is located to the north to the Da Sima Gate, forming a super large banquet area in the shape of "Hui".The meeting started early in the morning. Not only the soldiers and generals who participated in the Northern Expedition participated, but also the common people from all over the city of Jiankang were lucky enough to come here to have fun with the emperor. people dare not stay).

As for the civil and military officials in Jiankang Palace, there is no shortage of them.There are more than a thousand waiters serving the water table, which completely mobilized all the palace people in Jiankang Palace.

Such a grand occasion may only be comparable to when Xiao Yan invited monks from all over Liang to give lectures in Jiankang City.But at that time, monks were the only ones who joined in the fun, but now it is the common people in Jiankang City who eat the flowing water banquet here.

Not only Liu Yishou was satisfied with today's grand occasion, even Xiao Huan also tasted a bit of pride of "the king of the prosperous age".Not only did they enjoy the joy of returning from the Northern Expedition, but also dilute the tension caused by Liu Yishou's return with troops.

Even He Chen who participated in the running water banquet had to admit that in comparison, he was indeed narrow-minded.This guy Liu Yishou really knows how to play. He once ate a super-large-scale banquet, and now everyone knows that he, Liu, returned from the Northern Expedition victorious.

The "emperor's family banquet" that He Chen mentioned at the beginning, now looks more like a joke that can't be put on the stage.

I don't know if it was a burst of inspiration or premeditated, Liu Yishou also sent someone to pick out some good dishes from the flowing water banquet, and put them in the Taimiao to worship Xiao Yan.Although this behavior seemed extremely respectful, He Chen always felt that Liu Yishou was mocking maliciously.

The running water banquet, where the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, came to an end when night fell, and Liu Yishou did not make any movements for two consecutive days, which made some family members of the Southern Dynasty family who were worried gradually let go of their fear.

However, on the third day, a court meeting was held in Jiankang Palace, and Liu Yishou went to court as expected, and wrote a surprising memorial.

In the Taiji Hall of Jiankang Palace, Xiao Huan looked at Liu Yishou who came out of the queue with a puzzled face, and flipped through the memorial handed over by the palace man. He knew every word in it, but he didn't even know it. Know what the other party wants to do.

"Your Majesty, Liang Guo established the country for decades, and at the beginning it inherited the territory of the former Qi State, including the names and structures of the original prefectures and counties, all of which were directly inherited.

If a country is compared to a person, these things are like clothes with many patches, but they are barely worn on the body, and they are not comfortable at all.

In the past, the country was in decline, and I didn't have much energy to take care of similar things.But now that the Northern Expedition is successful, the country is invigorated, and the hearts of the people are united, it is precisely the time to deal with these long-standing disadvantages.

Therefore, I ask His Majesty for approval to change the original names of the prefectures and counties to their original names, and then rebuild the local governments and counties at all levels, reorganize the household registration, and reorganize the government affairs there inside and out!
Change it if you have it, and encourage it if you don't.

The list of overseas Chinese prefectures and counties that need to be renamed and rectified has been listed at the end of the memorial, please Your Majesty to decide. "

Liu Yishou came out, and after saluting, he spoke eloquently.The list of overseas Chinese prefectures and counties is dozens of large, and the scale is really not small.

The officials present at the court meeting were completely dumbfounded. Except for Liu Yishou's "inners" such as Chen Yuankang and Cui Xian, the other courtiers, whether they were neutral or secretly connected with the family of the Southern Dynasty, did not expect Liu Yishou to return to Jiankang. The first fire that was burned was actually the name change of Qiao Zhizhou County!

No one expected Liu Yishou's entry point to be here.

Overseas Chinese Zhizhou County was the place where immigrants from the north were resettled during the period of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms during the Yongjia period.

Because the gentry who moved north wanted to enclose land in the south, they would inevitably conflict with the local gentry in the south.Therefore, in the end, Qiaozhizhou County is one force, and non-Qiaozhizhou County is another force. The struggle between the two has been throughout the political situation of the Southern Dynasties since the Eastern Jin Dynasty.It is also a fierce battle between the family from the north and the local family from the south.

It has been hundreds of years now, and no one knows how many states and counties were established by the Southern Dynasties!How many people have been resettled!

The general method is to apply a patch on top of the patch, and change the name after the name.Some places were taken back, and some places fell again instead.

Those who were taken away, those who migrated to the vicinity of Jiankang, and those who fled to other places are countless, and the household registration of the personnel is extremely chaotic.

But these are not the places that those big families in the Southern Dynasties are afraid of.

What they are afraid of is that because of the chaotic household registration, Qiaozhizhou County is also the lair and base camp for the wealthy families to hide their black household registrations!There are a lot of hidden accounts that meet the unspoken rules and those that do not.

To put it simply, there is no one inside or outside the court today who can answer the question, and no one dares to answer how many household registrations there are in Qiaozhizhou and counties, and whether the number of household registrations recorded in the account books can be compared with the local farms. match.

If I'm not right, I can't tell how bad it is!

Liu Yishou's first sword, to be honest, had an extremely tricky angle, and no one in the court could resist it.Even He Chen, who was a servant, couldn't answer Liu Yishou's question, so he didn't dare to stand up and object.

If you want to object, then you have to talk about the general situation of these overseas Chinese states and counties.You can't tell, and you won't be allowed to change your name or check your household registration. You are so awesome and don't want to do anything, why don't you rebel?
When everyone in the elite circle of Jiankang City thought that Liu Yishou would play "fighting" when he returned to Jiankang, this noble governor who was the king of Wu actually started playing "fighting".

They were caught off guard and had no preparations at all.The routine prepared earlier was useless at all, and Liu Yishou did not unreasonably hunt down those who opposed him in Jiankang City.Instead, it is upright to use official business to decide the outcome.

I'm not being polite to you, I've made a move, who of you can take it?

Liu Yishou turned around, his eyes were like lightning, and he swept across everyone in the hall, and those who looked at him all lowered their heads in admiration.There was a long silence in the Tai Chi Hall, and no one stood up to answer the conversation.

Liu Yishou let out a sigh of disappointment, they were all scumbags who jumped up and couldn't hit their knees, how could they still want to play Game of Thrones with this knowledge?You really overestimated these people!
However, what he didn't know was that these three lords in the court really couldn't stand up, they were all babies who were suffering in their hearts.

If anyone stands up to oppose it, it is estimated that it will be their turn to do the job.But it’s impossible not to list it, because...Qiaozhi Prefecture is no different than other places, there are too many tricks to count, and it really can’t stand the investigation!
The problem is, they are not dogs raised by the aristocratic family, at least not dogs that are at the mercy of others like pets, but a relationship that uses each other.What reason is there to shed blood for those big families?
"King Wu, most of these overseas Chinese prefectures were accumulated by the previous dynasties a hundred years ago, and the joints are intricate, so the matter is big and needs to be considered in the long run..."

In the end, it was He Chen who stood up and said insincerely.

"So, the name can't be changed? This king doesn't believe it. Now many overseas Chinese prefectures have been recovered, such as Runan County and Nanyingchuan County. After the Northern Expedition, they are already under the control of Wang Shi. It would be redundant for an overseas Chinese to set up a state or county.

Then it is time to send the people of these two overseas Chinese prefectures to their original places, right?Then re-divide the vacated land, what does He Shizhong think?It's reasonable for the king to say so, right?

So, why can't the name be changed?Is it because the name cannot be changed, or is there something shady in these Qiaozhizhou counties that cannot be investigated?
Are these overseas Chinese prefectures the land under the rule of Liang Guo, or are they countries within countries? "

Liu Yishou looked at He Chen, and asked back with a smile on his face.

He no longer intends to scribble with these scumbags, just general!

It was impossible for Liu Yishou to answer these words, and no one dared to answer them.If these words are answered, there will be chaos all over the country of Liang.

If the hometowns of those aristocratic families who moved to the south are restored, and they are moved back to their original places, Liang Guo will definitely cause trouble.However, Liu Yishou really has the ability to do this!
After all, as long as this Governor Liu likes it, he can immediately move the Xie family of Chen Jun and the Wang family of Langya in Jiankang City to the front line!

Qingxu's Langya County and Yanzhou's Chen County are both adjacent to Liang State's current land, and it is not difficult to regain and maintain it in a short period of time.As long as He Chen dared to answer, Liu Yishou would dare to drive Wang and Xie's people out of Jiankang City tomorrow and send them to the front line.

"It's a slip of the tongue, the king of Wu will decide on this matter."

He Chen tactfully withdrew, no longer insisting.

He is not from a wealthy family, so it's none of his business!

"His Royal Highness King Wu, overseas Chinese state and counties are often in chaos, and there is a country within a country. Now that the country of Liang is on the rise, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, it is indeed time to set things right."

Chen Yuankang stood up and echoed, he also did not expect that these people in the court hall were so ungrateful.

This also has something to do with their position. After all, the people in the center of the court may eat vegetarian food, but after all, they cannot be completely equated with the big family.There is still a big difference in their core interests.

Of course, if Liu Yishou rebelled now, their interests would be on the same side as those of the big families in the Southern Dynasties.

The great thing about Liu Yishou is that he can always find out where these people hurt the most and where they can't fight back.

"Let's do this matter according to King Wu's wishes, and Chen Shangshu will be responsible for carrying it out."

Xiao Huan yawned and said, Chen Yuankang is the order of the Minister, and the Shangshu Mansion is responsible for the investigation, which seems to be within the responsibility, so there is nothing strange about it.

He didn't pay attention to this at all. No matter how you say this matter is good for the country, just implement it directly.

"Your Majesty, I still have a memorial."

Liu Yishou took out a memorial as if by magic, and handed it to the palace servants around Xiao Huan.Originally, he didn't plan to take it out today, but he saw that the fighting power of these five scumbags in the hall was too weak, so he could indeed speed up the advance.

"King Wu, please speak."

Xiao Huan didn't read the memorial, and he couldn't understand it anyway, so he didn't intend to bring shame on himself.

"During my Wang Shi's journey to the north this time, many big families in the south of the Yangtze River sent their own slave hunting teams and private troops. After Wang Shi went north, they continued to rob and traffic people in the local area. The number is appalling!
Now these populations have been hidden, but this trend will not last long.

Weichen suggested that we search and read all over the country, verify the household registration, update the household registration of each state, county and county, and make a new book.If it is found that someone has robbed the population, it will be carefully investigated, strictly investigated, and investigated to the end.

Never wrong a good person, and never let a bad person go! "

After Liu Yishou finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall became so quiet that it almost froze.

Dasuo, a large-scale census; Maggie, face-to-face inspection, that is, a nationwide census in Liang State, so that the Dingkou where the location is located corresponds to the population on the household registration.

If there is someone who has no record, re-register and make a register, and if there is no such person, the household registration will be cancelled.Those who are not in the right age or gender must be corrected one by one.

At first glance, there seems to be no problem with this behavior, which benefits the country and the people and does not harm anyone's interests.

But in fact, this memorial is digging out the roots of the big family!It is difficult to check the household registration in those government offices and county offices, they are all self-cultivated farmers.

The hardest thing to find is the big local family!
There are countless black households there, and they don't have to pay taxes to the country. This is the source of the development and growth of the aristocratic family!
At the time of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there were [-] children in the orchard that picked fruit for Wang Xi's family. These people were black households who did not pay taxes to the country, and they were also the foundation of the aristocratic family's control of the country.

Wang Xizhi was in politics "with a breeze in his sleeves" and never corrupted.In fact, whoever has [-] children in the orchard would not commit corruption, after all, it is really worthless for that little money!
In the court, they want to ensure that their family can reasonably control these black households and legally occupy a large area of ​​fertile land, Shanze orchard.These officials and their families are one and the same.

"His Royal Highness, since the slave-hunting teams of some aristocratic families have acted indiscriminately, it's time to investigate. The nationwide Dasuo looks like..."

He Chen wanted to say that his steps were too big and it would be easy to drag him, but he didn't know how to organize his words.

In fact, Liu Yishou's step today is almost inevitable and not optional.But the timing he picked and the excuses he made were good, making it hard to refute.

"Well, what He Shizhong said is reasonable, and this king also feels that this is a big deal. Otherwise, since you said to investigate those slave hunting teams, then you will take the lead in investigating the case. If you can't find it... even if the emperor doesn't punish you You, this king will punish you too.

What does His Majesty think? "

Liu Yishou asked Xiao Huan.

He Chen was taken aback for a moment, he never expected that Liu Yishou's board would be lifted high and then put down gently, and the "Da Suo looks good" that he said with certainty in his mouth, actually just said that if he didn't do it, he would not do it!
"What does He Shizhong think?"

Xiao Huan looked at He Chen and asked, a little bit hard to get off.

"Wei Chen takes orders."

He Chen folded his sleeves and saluted and said.

After all this is said, can he still refuse?Does he still dare to refuse?Liu Yishou literally dug a big hole and let himself jump directly down.

He had a vague feeling that in fact Liu Yishou's purpose was to make troubles against the Qiaozhi prefectures and counties.After all, it was a bad book that was recognized by both inside and outside the court, and He Chen would not feel surprised at all if any shocking scandals were found out.

In fact, even he, an old man who has been hanging around in the Jiankang center since Xiao Yan's time, doesn't know what the situation is like in those overseas counties.Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there have been many overseas Chinese prefectures and counties in the south, and the leading ones are those original big families in the north.

Those people themselves have power in the north. After arriving in the south, they quickly gained a foothold in Qiaozhizhou County, and passed it down from generation to generation. Who knows what's going on there!

And Liu Yishou's thinking seems to be very flexible.

If you are obedient, then just change the name of Qiaozhizhou County.

If you guys are disobedient, check it out and see who has the most ass!
He Chen suddenly felt cold all over, and a chill came from his spine to the top of his head.He looked at the majestic Liu Yishou who couldn't look directly at him, and suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

This Liu Dudu is not only an expert in foreign wars, but also seems to be quite expert in internal fighting.When he came back this time, there were countless people walking around in and out of Jiankang City!
