The little official went to the left, "over there."

The old farmer knelt down, "All kneel down."

The whole family knelt down to the left.

Kowtow devoutly.

"May Your Majesty live a long life!"

One by one, the hermits knelt down towards Chang'an...

"May Your Majesty live a long life."

……

"...Those hermits are the most pious, and the people of Baiqi reported that if His Majesty summoned them, these hermits would go through fire and water for His Majesty..."

Shen Qiu glanced at the emperor.

"Emperors have to stand somewhere. Most emperors stand on the side of the superior, and I choose to stand on the side of the people in the world. Now there are many people who curse me to die, right?"

Shen Qiu lowered his head.

The emperor smiled, "At first I also wanted to talk to those people, but I found out later... It's useless to talk to them, it's useless to talk to them, and it's useless to be harsh. The only way is to weaken them. Clean up the hidden households It is the best method. Without the population, what can they do? Could it be that they rebelled with those slaves?"

Shen Qiu said: "Those wealthy slaves are also panicked."

"Without the opportunity for the fox to pretend to be the tiger, how can they not hesitate?"

"What moved me the most about Jia Ping'an's advice was the ebb and flow." The emperor got up, and someone helped him out of the hall.

Feeling the blazing sunshine, the emperor squinted his eyes, "If the Tang Dynasty wants to prosper for a long time, we must curb the greed of some people, otherwise we can only squeeze the people. The former emperor often said that reading history can tell the rise and fall, how did the previous dynasty decline and fall?" It is caused by the greed of those people. If they are greedy, the people will suffer, and when the people can't bear it, the world will become ruins, and all the emperors and generals are like a piece of loess."

Shen Qiu said: "Those big clans in Hebei Province are furious, letters and messengers are constantly going back and forth between Chang'an."

"They were panicked and angry, but they were helpless." The emperor smiled and said, "The first thing I did after I ascended the throne was to destroy the powerful ministers, and let those who might control the military power go away. What is an emperor... the one who holds the army is the one." The emperor, otherwise it is a puppet!"

Wang Zhongliang came over, "Your Majesty, there is a lady asking to see the queen."

The emperor said indifferently: "This is to test."

……

Queen's is very lively.

Dozens of ladies were winking at each other, after a long time one lady got up.

"Queen, I'll wait to hear...that it's Datang who wants to clean up hermits?"

This is knowingly asked.

The queen should be perfunctory.

Everyone thinks so.

The queen said: "All the hermits of the Wu family will be released today. I have a word to say, you can listen carefully."

The crowd was silent.

"A person wants to enjoy, and enjoyment has to be spent. The field produces output every year, and it can last for thousands of years. In this way, every family will compete for the field, even if the dynasty is destroyed..."

The expressions of the ladies remained unchanged, and there was no sign of shame.

They have already drawn a gap between themselves and the people, an insurmountable gap.

On the other side of the chasm, there is luxury and luxury.On the other side of the gap, the living people wailed and couldn't eat enough to eat, and even Yizi ate each other.

The queen said slowly: "If the Tang Dynasty is to be strong and prosperous, taxation is the foundation, but how many people have become hermits? How many taxes that should have been paid to the court have become the wealth of a family? Such days will not be seen again in the future." Not anymore."

There was more coldness in the eyes of those noble ladies.

Since many years ago, the powerful class has always believed that they and the emperor are sharing wealth, and the emperor also uses the concept of sharing wealth as a magic weapon to buy the upper class.

Since it's about sharing wealth, it's okay for us to get some hidden households, right?

no problem!

The emperor nodded heroically.

They know the dangers of hermits, and they will drag this dynasty to death.But they have no choice, either choose euthanasia, or they can only choose to cooperate with this group of gluttons who can never get enough to feed.

Most of the emperors chose to cooperate with them, so the reincarnation once in hundreds of years was repeatedly staged in this land.

The queen's eyes were slightly cold, "The Tang navy has just returned from overseas and brought a large amount of gold and silver. It will arrive in Chang'an after a while. This is a road... Going to sea, there are countless wealth overseas, gold, silver and copper are not a problem, and you can also buy gold and silver." There are countless spices, rare birds and animals... Those natives are ignorant, and a kitchen knife can be exchanged for a large piece of gold..."

Greed instantly covered the entire hall.

After the ladies left with a thousand thanks, the queen took the tea and said flatly, "A group of wild dogs robbing food!"

……

On the day Jia Ping'an returned, a mighty convoy entered Chang'an City.

"It's all gold!"

Those natural gold nuggets with strange shapes sparkle in the sun.

A convoy of spices came over, and the entire Suzaku Street was filled with scents.

"It is said that there is a lot of gold and silver overseas."

Lu Shunzai and others were also watching this scene.

"It's much better than farming."

Dazed by the golden light, Wang Shun sighed, "The emperor's method! First he gave me a stick, and then he gave me a piece of meat."

Lu Shungui looked at this scene with his hands behind his back, and said: "A group of people are filled with righteous indignation and are ready to compete with the emperor. Now they see gold and silver and immediately turn their anger into joy. The reserved morals of the gentry are full of shame before money!"

Wang Shun said with a dry smile, "That's a bit biased."

"They are all human beings. If you want to say that the gentry are gods, let's wait until the day when the gentry don't have to eat, drink, and scatter."

"One day I don't have to eat, drink, and scatter..."

"The day I die!"

Lu Shungui got on his horse and left.
