Chapter 532 The Fear of Power Techniques

Chapter 532 The Fear of Power Techniques

Because Li Yuan, the founder of the Tang Dynasty, was a powerful man, when the Tang Dynasty swept the world, the inherent class pattern was not broken, on the contrary, it was further strengthened.

That is to say, Emperor Taizong was too strong, and he did a lot of things to suppress the powerful during his reign, which left Li Zhi with a relatively stable period of time to re-establish the majesty of imperial power.

In fact, Li Zhi also did it. Whether it was the battle for the Western Regions or the counter-insurgency incidents in the country, he did not do badly. In the end, after completely pacifying the three eastern countries, Li Zhi's prestige was basically It can no longer be shaken.

Just because Li was born in a powerful family, they have a very clear understanding of the dangers of the powerful family to the stability of the country.

Now that the country has finally stabilized, Li Zhi turned around and wanted to eliminate the powerful family, but it was already too late.

Because, even a new and small family like the Yun family has the power to arm fifty armed tribes.

In the whole Tang Dynasty, there are no less than 200 marquises like Yunchu, plus more earls, viscounts, barons, and more powerful dukes, county kings, princesses, and princes. A large body of extrajudicial power not ruled by imperial power.

Yunchu, who used to be an official, has a deep understanding of the uniqueness of the law and the uniqueness of law enforcement agencies.

Now, there are so many private armed forces that are not restricted by the royal power, which shows that the imperial power has been challenged.

Because the main object of defense in the private part is the imperial power!
The power of the nobility is not only manifested in private parts, but also in the closure of households.

Yunchu's title of Marquis of Lantian allows him to collect [-]% of Lantian County's annual tax in a fair manner!
Among them, two hundred households are closed, which means that whether the two hundred households in Bashang can survive is at the discretion of Lord Yunchu. In theory, he can formulate whatever he wants for the two hundred households at will. Taxes, and then collect all these taxes on yourself.

He can take away the women of these two hundred households at will, even if he tortures the good girls to death, the government will not intervene, because they are the closed households of Lantianhou.

This is the so-called feudalism in Tang Dynasty.

However, what is more terrifying than exploiting one's own household is that there is basically no precedent for noble families to exploit their own households.

Even if someone like Xu Jingzong is greedy, lustful, and disgusting, it is never heard that he snatched away the daughter of the Fenghu family.

On the contrary, the life of his closed household is generally better than that of the people around him.

The closure of the Yun family is even more so...Because of Yu Xiurong, who is a Buddha of Wanjia, the taxes are often raised, and then rewards are given in Yunchu's name...After a few years, he is almost fattening into a pig.

Since one's own household cannot be exploited excessively, and the nobles want to live a good life of sensuality and luxury, what should we do?

There is no good way, only to exploit those people who do not belong to their own family but only belong to Li Zhi himself.

Therefore, the girls that Xu Jingzong spoiled actually belonged to Li Zhi, and the money Yun Chu earned was also earned from Li Zhi's common people.

That's why, among all the nobles, Li Zhi is the biggest noble, and at the same time, the biggest grievance.

Under this kind of political system, according to the theory of the human heart, how many officials can be born who are not self-serving and only focus on benefiting Li Zhi?
Anyway, Yunchu is not optimistic at all.

Speaking of which, officials like him, Wen Wen, Di Renjie, and Liu Rengui who consider the interests of all the people are already rare.

As long as Li Zhi is not so dazed that he only cares about sensuality in the palace and ignores the affairs of the outside world, these people will basically not be eliminated by Li Zhi from his bureaucratic ranks.

The emperor would never divide the land by killing local tyrants, because he is the biggest local tyrant and landlord.

However, this did not prevent Yunchu from setting off a vigorous wave of hunting down local tyrants and dividing the land in Wannian County.

This time, the ones who were determined to beat up the local tyrants and divide the land were the lackeys of the Cui family - Du Chongming, Cao Hui, Zhao Ting, Qu Tianming, Feng Zheng!
Speaking of which, these five people are very good and smart people. They have a keen sense of smell, and with Cui's financial support, they can always make people feel dizzy when the policy of benefiting the people formulated by Yunchu is issued. Bet decisively in the first time to reap the greatest benefits.

Similarly, in Wannian County, there is basically no chance for anyone to use violence to grab the first barrel of bloody money. Therefore, although the actions of these five people made Yunchu furious, the means of getting rich are reasonable and legal .

Many opportunities were automatically given to others by Yunchu.

That's why Yun Chu thought he was incompetent and furious in front of Cui Zhen.

If ordinary people follow these guys to get rich at the same time, and achieve the goal of taking the lead in getting rich, not only will Yun Chu not be angry, on the contrary, he will take the initiative to publicize the achievements of these people and let their reputation spread throughout Chang'an.

The selfish nature of the lackeys of the Cui family made them only regard those neighbors and common people as cattle and horses. The people of Yongyetian became their own tenants, and finally became their own servants.

Yun Chu admits that some of the people under his rule are stupid, some are unlucky, and some are even bums.

Even so, this is not a weakness that these five people can exploit to make a fortune.

Yunchu is a herdsman official in Wannian County. Yunchu used to herd sheep. His purpose of herding sheep is to let every sheep go home full of food. Skinny bleating with hunger.

These few people were very secretive when they worked. After taking over the land of the unlucky people in Wannian County, they did not transfer the ownership, but drew up a contract in private, proving that the land belonged to the five of them.

This gave Yunchu a loophole to take advantage of. Master Wan made a notice to tell everyone in Wannian County that Wannian County was going to confirm the property rights of Yongyetian again.

If you don't come to the county government to sort out your Yongyetian property rights within three days, the government will not recognize any problems with the property rights in the future, and will no longer recognize the property rights transfer contracts signed by the people in private.

After this announcement was made public, the people of Wannian County immediately went crazy. Those people who sold the land to those five families immediately turned against each other with the support of the head of the village and the head of the workshop, and no longer recognized the contract signed before.

People in Guanzhong are naive and cunning by nature, and they are naturally naive when they have no other choice. As long as there is a slight way to get back Yongyetian, which is more important than their lives, they can come up with [-] ways in one night. A tricky way.

Some are even more clever, taking their own land deeds to find some stupid rich people to sell the land privately.

"The consequence of your doing this is to fix the transaction of Yongyetian in Wannian County. That is to say, from now on, there will be no more transactions in Yongyetian in Wannian County. In order to teach a few reptiles, you destroy Wannian County's reputation."

Di Renjie, who is a law student, still approves of the contract. He feels that Yunchu's approach is very base and lacks the spirit of the law.

"The spirit of Datang's establishment of Yongyetian is to let the tillers have their land and let the people keep the last personal property that can survive.

Judging from the current situation of the Tang people, Yongyetian is the people's last reliance, there is nothing they can't get over, and they will never sell Yongyetian.

However, the people who sell Yongyetian basically belong to the poorest part of the people. Once these people lose their last means of survival, they will be reduced to hooligans and the second generation.

If there are more second-generation hooligans, it will not be a good thing for Wannian County.

Since the sale of Yongyetian cannot be locked by law, it can only be locked by government means, so that this kind of sale has no market at all. "

Di Renjie said again: "I checked these people. Although these people are greedy, they have nothing wrong with them. You put Du Chongming in prison. This is not what a wise county magistrate should do."

Yunchu flipped through the files, found a document and handed it to Di Renjie, "He did commit a crime."

Di Renjie glanced at the document hastily, frowned and said, "Have you invaded the public land of Liufen?

I remember that when you were a county magistrate for tens of thousands of years, you encouraged the people to cultivate barren fields. Even if it was royal land, you led the people to occupy a lot. At this time, you made the mistake of plowing the barren public land, Are you not worried about the snowfall in June in Wannian County? "

Yun Chu showed a standard bureaucratic smile, showing eight snow-white teeth, and said calmly: "The law is the minimum requirement for a person's behavior, and my Wannian County has relatively high requirements for moral character.

Since these people regard the minimum requirements of the law as the highest code of conduct, don't blame me for demanding them with the strictest laws.

Isn't this a fair thing?

Moreover, the government of my Tang Dynasty never went to the countryside. In the countryside, the people govern themselves according to the "Rural Regulations and Civil Agreement". Therefore, the reason why Du Chongming is in prison now is also the unanimous request of the local gentry and people. "

Di Renjie stared at Yunchu in surprise and said, "This will create a bad trend of eating up the rich."

The bureaucratic smile on Yunchu's face remained unchanged, he looked at Di Renjie and said, "It's okay, just punish those common people who like to eat rich people.

They can be stupid, they can be stupid, but they can't be bad.

In this turmoil, are the common people really innocent?Does it mean that they don't need to learn a lesson?

I'm waiting for them to show their bad side, and then use thunderous means to punish those bad people, and just give Du Chongming and the others an explanation. "

Di Renjie took a breath and said, "After that, what will Du Chongming and the others have left?"

Yunchu laughed and said, "They became rich because of Wannian County, and then they lost everything because of Wannian County. When the heavy snow falls, Du Chongming can stand in the white snow and sigh -- the white land is so clean !"
