Since the founding of the Great Tang, the clansmen have been suppressed many times, and their social status has declined. In particular, the gradual improvement of the imperial examination system has broken the monopoly of the clansmen on education and culture, but the clans ’influence is still not small and controls the society. Every aspect of life.

Because the major gentry have an inheritance of 100 years or even 1000 years, they have a deep cultural heritage that ordinary people can’t fight against. This allows the gentry to have an advantage in all aspects including the imperial examination. From this, Imperial Many of the officials in the court are from the gentry, and many shops in the city are also gentry industry, let alone mention the property.

There is a characteristic of the children of the clan, that is, after the family, everyone has said that since the ancient times, there is a world of homeland. That is to say, in the hearts of the children of the clan, their own small family will always be ranked first place The interest of the family is the center. When the interests of the family and the country conflict, the family ’s interests are always placed in the first place, even at the expense of confrontation with the country. This is also the difficulty of reform, making it difficult for the Great Tang Imperial Court to start against the gentry.

At the moment, as soon as the draft of the 2nd tax law came out, officials representing the interests of the various gentry groups exploded, especially those gentry who had a large amount of land behind them, all fidgeting nervously, as if a piece of meat on themselves would soon be cut It seems to fall.

Just as Li An was thinking about how to implement the 2 tax law, representatives of various gentry groups gathered in Beijing gathered to discuss how to oppose the 2 tax law and how to make Imperial Court completely abandon this policy that infringes their interests.

‘The ancestral law cannot be abolished. ‘This has almost become the most advantageous weapon of the princes. After all, the policy of tenancy is set by the Great Tang Old Ancestor. As a descendant, how can one violate the legal system of the ancestors at will? This is a manifestation of filial piety, and it may Great Tang has unpredictable consequences.

“Everyone, once the 2 tax laws are implemented, the interests of our Great Family will suffer irreparable losses. Therefore, at this time, we must unite as one and never allow the 2 tax laws to be implemented.”

“Yeah! Yeah! The ancestral law can’t be abolished, so messing up will cause chaos, and the 2 tax laws must not be implemented.”

“Yes, yes, as long as we all object, Imperial Court will be difficult to enforce.”

The representatives of the major gentry have reached an agreement on opposing the 2 tax laws. This is also a rare cooperation for the gentry. In general, they are competing for interests, and even demolishing each other for the land of the poor. However, at the moment, the 2 tax laws It comes out, and will greatly violate their interests, so they will naturally put down their previous hatred and sit down to study how to deal with the 2 tax laws.

There is a famous saying in later generations that ‘only eternal benefits, no eternal friends. ‘In order to safeguard their own interests, nobles can do anything, but in order to safeguard common interests, they will also unite and find countermeasures together.

Opposition 2 The opinions on the tax law have been agreed. Next, all they have to do is discuss how to oppose it. After all, you ca n’t oppose it in your heart! If such a so-called objection has any meaning, to oppose it must take action. The Imperial Court must be able to see that 2 tax laws are not feasible and absolutely impossible to implement, otherwise, it may cause very serious consequences .

“Zheng Family is located in the Central Plains and has the most fields. It should be the first to stand up and set an example for each family.”

“Yes, yes, I should wait for Zheng Family first.”

After one person proposed, everyone followed.

“Lu Shangyi, who we have our Zheng Family has the most fields. Although your Lú Family is far away in Fanyang, there are few people in the north. I heard that your Lú Family forces have reached the area of ​​Yingzhou northwards. Since the north of Fanyang, most of the fields are yours. Family’s! “

Representatives of Zheng Family are very dissatisfied with counterattack. Although they have reached an agreement against the 2 tax laws, in the process of implementation, there are still many contradictions. No one wants to stand up first. .

“Okay, okay, the enemy is now, let’s stop fighting, look at the situation before making a decision! Lest you rush to provoke Your Majesty.”

“Yes, yes, it makes sense.”

“By the way, I heard that Your Majesty has just appointed Li An as Minister of Revenue Assistant Minister, leading the implementation of 2 tax laws. This person is under 20 years old and still very young.”

“Oh, it’s the Li An who fights very difficult to deal with! He fights fiercely. It is not necessary to deal with these things. As long as we set up some more obstacles, he will be allowed to burn his head.”

“Yes, yes, find something more for the Ministry of Revenue, so they do n’t have time to take care of 2 tax laws.”

“Some of us in the Yang Family have taken the position of Lang Zhongyi in the Ministry of Revenue. What will happen to Li An? Even if we inform us, as soon as he starts to act, we will respond immediately. As long as we hold the group, we will not believe that we will lose to a small doll.”

On behalf of you, the members of the gentry will discuss how to deal with it, and send someone to notify their own officials to explore the progress of the tax law in various ways to facilitate their response.

The representatives of the various gentry groups were negotiating in secret, but the Imperial Court had already been overwhelming. When Li An handed over the draft 2 tax law, the ministers of the dynasty began fierce in the face of Li Longji. debate.

Most of the ministers represent the interests of gentry who own a large amount of land. On the ground that the ancestral law is not invalid, they strongly demand the abolition of the 2 tax law, and some ministers with few land feel that the implementation of the 2 tax law can increase Imperial Court ’s income. The damage of Tian Duozhe is not very great, and it can be carried out completely, thus forming a dispute.

However, judging from the situation in Chaotang, the majority opposed the 2 tax laws, and there were few supporters. In particular, it was also enough to show that the power of the gentry was enough to affect Chaotang.

The purpose of Li Longji is just to let all officials express their views, so not at all prevents any officials from expressing their opinions.

However, Li Linfu, who is the head of the group, did not at all express his opinion, because he has not yet figured out Li Longji’s thoughts, so he did not dare to express his opinion, so as not to cause Li Longji to be unhappy and make him fall out of favor.

In Great Tang, if you want to implement a big policy, you have to think it through. If most of the courtiers and people in the world strongly object, this policy will be difficult to implement. So, at this moment, if you want to make the 2 tax law go smoothly In order to implement, it is necessary to let the major gentry who oppose fiercely obey and obey, otherwise, once these gentry cling to the fierce opposition, it is likely to cause turmoil.

Li Longji gave Li An the task of implementing the 2 tax law, on the one hand, because the 2 tax law itself was proposed by Li An, and on the other hand, it was to test Li An ’s ability to see if Li An could use this Things are handled in an orderly manner.

In the Li An mansion of Dayefang, Li An is leisurely enjoying the vegetables in the large backyard. Although the various gentry have united, although the Imperial Court has become a pot of porridge, Li An is still living comfortably, without a trace. The panic, after all, everything is as good as it comes. I am so anxious that I can’t eat hot tofu. I’m so nervous.

“Master, Imperial Censor Yan came to visit.”

“Oh, my uncle is here, Sixth Zhao, and my uncle is here. Is it still necessary to communicate? Please please.”

Li An frowned and blamed.

“No need to ask, I’ve already come.”

Yan Zhenqing did not have the fear of Li An because Li An was promoted to the Fourth Grade Ministry of Revenue Assistant Minister. It is still the same as before. Of course, this is also the result Li An wants.

“Uncle, this is the first time you have come to my mansion! Haha! Come take a look at the vegetables I planted. Many of them are ready to eat.”

Li An’s expression is extremely calm, as if he didn’t have to worry about 2 tax laws at all.

“Is it possible to grow vegetables in such weather?”

It was Yan Zhenqing ’s first visit to Li An ’s mansion. When he suddenly saw the green vegetables, he was really surprised. However, at this moment, he was not in a mood to appreciate the vegetables. 2 The tax law suddenly came up, which made the whole Chang’an City happen. I am afraid that only Li An can be so calm.

“Wuyang, the Chaotang has already quarreled into a pot of porridge. In addition, the major gentry have secretly united to deal with you. Are you still in the mood to grow vegetables?”

Yan Zhenqing said very dumbly.

“Oh, it turns out that the uncle came here just for this matter! 2 The tax law is your Majesty’s fancy, and it will be enforced in the end. As for those who want to oppose, let them jump for a few days and vent their resentment qi. Right! “

Li An’s expression is casually, as if with no difficulty you can get things done in 2 tax laws, which surprised Yan Zhenqing.

“Wuyang, it seems that you already have a way to deal with these opponents? I worry too much.”

“Uncle, since we’re here, let’s have a good meal in our house! We will talk about the details of the 2 tax laws.”

Li An pulled out a few cabbages and shook them in front of Yan Zhenqing.

“It’s still this virtue.”

Yan Zhenqing laughed and promised to stay and eat.

Before the meal was prepared, Lifei Shouyu and Zhang Guangsheng came to visit with several subordinates. They listened to the news of Li An’s promotion and came to congratulate them and find a good future for them.

“Shouyu, Guangsheng, come here, please sit down.”

“It’s early, it’s better to come by chance, just in time for the meal, haha!”

“Congratulations to Wuyang on promotion to Ministry of Revenue Assistant Minister, congratulations, congratulations, haha!”

The 3 people were polite as soon as they met. In the morning, Kunxiong, Feiyu and 2 Niu had already been here, but they did not at all take their men.

“Wuyang, I heard that Your Majesty lets you implement the 2 tax law, but Ministry of Revenue has no one from us, you will certainly not be handy when you do things, I have found a few people for you, they are willing to go to the Ministry of Revenue, mix a good future.”

Lifei Shouyu pointed to the men behind him and asked.

“Okay! This is a good thing. I accepted it, haha! Brothers and uncles, let’s eat first! Don’t let the food cool.”

Li An is kind.

Although there are no confidants in the Ministry of Revenue, Li An has let his original old men help him, and let them make unannounced visits to find evidence of the annexation of land by the major gentry, and now Lifei Shouyu has sent a few more people, of course. Better.

At the dinner table, Yan Zhenqing, Lifei Shouyu and Zhang Guangsheng made it clear that they will fully support Li An and will always stand on the same front with Li An, which makes Li An very pleased.

In the afternoon, Li An received news and hurriedly took Sixth Zhao to inspect outside the city. Although he is now the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Assistant Minister, Imperial Court, he took an early leave because of his fatigue, Ministry Of Revenue officials, including Guo Xuji, could not help him.

After going out of town, Li An met several old men who were responsible for collecting intelligence on the land acquisition by the gentry. At this moment, I have heard a lot of news, and even conclusive evidence has been found.

“Assistant Minister, Zheng Laoliu of Zheng Clan of Xinyang, merged 20000 acres of land in the eastern part of Chang’an City. These fields are in front, and we have found many 100 surnames, which can be testified.”

Li An smiled casually and asked, “How is this Zheng Laoliu character? What else is in the family?”

“Assistant Minister, this Zheng Laoliu character is not very good, secretly opened 6 casinos in Chang’an City, many of the people who died were destroyed, but relying on the support of Zheng Clan of Xinyang, no one dared to seal the casino.”

Li An hearing this, the corner of his mouth smiled even brighter. What he needs most now is a person like Zheng Laoliu, whose character is extremely poor, and he has also done the act of merging the land. In this way, killing this person will not What a psychological burden.

“The few of you continue to collect evidence, and the 100 surnames whose fields have been forcibly merged definitely hate Zheng Laoliu. You need to find some more such 100 surnames, connect them to the city, and settle them well.

“Yes, Assistant Minister.”

Several subordinates complied and drove away.

“What a nice field! But the greed of the people is so endless. If they are rich, they want to be richer. If they are rich, they will continue to be rich.

Li An sighed.

“Master, where are we going now?”

“Nowhere to go, back to the city.”

Li An drove back to the city and returned to his mansion.

On the morning of the second day, Li An went to the Ministry of Revenue and made a round. Without saying anything, he just greeted the ministers and went straight to the Zichen Hall.

“Everyone, Minister Li begs.”

Li Longji smiled at the corner of his mouth: “It seems a bit eyebrow, let him in!”

“This Small Official Li An see Your Majesty.”

“Li An, what progress has been made in implementing 2 tax laws?”

Li Longji asked with a smile.

“Your Majesty, there is a rogue Zheng Laoliu in the capital. With the shelter of the Zheng Clan of Xinyang, he forcibly annexed 20000 acres of land in the east of the city and displaced 100 households and 100 surnames. Your Majesty has repeatedly ordered the prohibition of land mergers. Zheng Laoliu ignored Your Majesty’s will is to blame for your crimes. Please ask Your Majesty to order Zheng Laoliu to be arrested and beheaded immediately. All her children will be exiled. “

Li An did not answer directly, but made his own request.

Li Longji hearing this, nodded appreciated, ordered: “Yu Chaoen, intended purpose.”

“Yes, everyone.”

“Thank You Majesty, This Small Official has resigned.”

Li An didn’t have much to tell Li Longji yet, so he had to resign.

“Killing the chicken to warn the monkey, but some means, haha!”

After Li An left the Zichen Hall, Li Longji looked towards side Gao Lishi, sighed with a smile, and Gao Lishi quickly nodded to respond.
