Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 452

Li Qi, who is the son of a Korean prince, sneaks around the door of his house for no other reason than to avoid his own father Li Shanchang.

That day, after Li Shanchang reprimanded a group of court officials who failed to accomplish anything but failed, he did not follow Li Qi's wish and took advantage of the situation to draw a clear line with these court officials.

Instead, they came up with a new strategy: let the officials of the DPRK and China transfer the shop properties in Beijing to the Huaixi nobles in exchange for the various lands in the hands of the Huaixi nobles.

Most of the nobles in Huaixi who followed Lao Zhu in the army had the same background as Lao Zhu, and they were suffering from no real property.Perhaps it was because they were lacking in something before, and became more obsessed with it. After these Huaixi nobles made their fortunes, all of them wantonly encroached on the land, almost wherever they were stationed, they had to draw out a piece of their own Zhuangzi.

Some courageous people like Zhu Liangzu have no less than hundreds of thousands of acres of land in their families, and most of them are well-irrigated land.It's not that Lao Zhu didn't know about this in the past, it's just that the heroes have made outstanding contributions after all. After years of wars in China, there are few people and many lands. Putting this matter on hold for the time being, just remembering it occasionally, and whispering to them in private.

It wasn't until later that Zhu Su revealed his identity and told Lao Zhu about the so-called "Dynasty Periodic Law", and Lao Zhu realized that the so-called occupation of land turned out to be the root of the disaster that led to the downfall of the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years later.

Lao Zhu, who was so alarming, could no longer just sit back and watch these old brothers encroach on land. When Zhu Su went to Suzhou, Lao Zhu called the nobles into the palace and beat them hard, warning them to hurry up and take away the large pieces of land in their hands. The land scattered and so on.

Seeing that the emperor was really serious, all the nobles dared not neglect, such as Li Wenzhong, Xu Da, etc., quickly sold off the extra land in their family at a low price, in response to the emperor's order.

But more nobles are not let go.This is land!It is a family business that has been saved with great difficulty.What a pity if they broke up because of one sentence?
We were born and died on the battlefield, isn't it for the word rich and honor?
Therefore, more people are hesitant and reluctant to give up the land in their hands. Even if they want to sell it, they only want to sell it at a high price and are unwilling to bear the loss caused by a cheap sale.After going back and forth, it dragged on until today.

If the officials are willing to replace it with shops in Beijing, these nobles from Huaixi must be overjoyed and agree.

After all, the shop in Beijing is also a good family business that can be passed on to the descendants, which is not much better than the land; exchanging fields from other places for the shop in Beijing can also learn from each other's strengths and complement each other's needs: officials no longer need There is no need to worry about being missed by the emperor if you expose your huge family fortune in Beijing; the nobles don't have much land under their names, so they are worthy of His Majesty's instructions.

Neither party has to make any sacrifices, and everyone is happy.

Only Li Qi was frightened by this "ingenious plan".Father's method is indeed a good plan for those court officials. After all, except for the nobles who have this need and ability, other people will absolutely not be able to eat the huge industries of these people in Beijing that have been included in the new tax law in a short period of time. .

But in this way, my father not only connected with the civil servants, but also got involved with the nobles who led the army: the nobles were in a state of desperation because of the scattered fields, and my father was in the middle of the bridge. In the eyes of His Majesty, it was tantamount to Show grace to civil and military officials.

What would His Majesty think if he showed favor to civil servants and military officials at the same time?The imperial court just abolished the prime minister, and you, Li Shanchang, hooked up with all the civil and military officials. What exactly do you, Li Shanchang, want to do?
Could it be that if you want to become the career of Huo Guang and Changsun Wuji, is it not true?
Thinking of this, Li Qi was almost in a state of restlessness. Hearing that his father was going to invite many nobles from Huaixi today, his soul was dying, and he knew that if he didn't do something, it would be too late to regret.Therefore, before dawn, he sneaked out of the mansion through the corner gate, and prepared to squat in front of the gate of Prince Zhu Biao's mansion. When he saw the prince leaving the mansion and entering the palace, he stopped the prince's car and told the truth.

Unexpectedly, before he took two steps, he felt something covering his head suddenly covering him.Immediately after his eyes went dark, someone kicked him on the crook of his leg with a familiar kick, and Li Qi fell to the ground with an "Ah yo".

"Who! Who is it! I am Li Qi, the heir apparent of South Korea. He Fangxiao is young, and dare to kidnap the son of a hero?" Li Qi shouted, he already realized that he had encountered a strong man.But where is the strong man so rampant that he dares to kidnap someone at the door of his own house?
"Hehe, this kid actually dares to talk nonsense! Look at me convincing people with virtue!" said a voice next to his ear, and then, he felt the feeling of being hit by a stick a few times, and Li Qi was in pain. Convincing people with virtue? Why did you use a stick?

Just as he was about to call for help, he heard another voice saying: "Second brother, don't do anything, this Li Qi is a noble person no matter what, so don't use sticks lightly."

Li Qi thought that he was a reasonable gangster, and was about to say a few words of praise when he suddenly felt a pain in the top of his head, and his consciousness became blurred.Hearing the voice in a daze, he continued: "...Don't startle him, first make him faint, and find a secluded place to ask slowly."

"...Fourth, you're still thoughtful! Your brick is really accurate! I feel that this brick is much better than my stick." The voice of the kidnapper in front said.With a hint of approval.

"Can't it be done with a stick, can it be enough to knock him unconscious with a brick..." Li Qi staggered and was speechless for a while, only this last thought flashed through his mind, and then his body went limp, and he fainted on the ground.

When he woke up, the cover on his head had been removed, and he had already come to a dilapidated house.There seemed to be two figures in the room separated by a curtain. Li Qi resisted the sharp pain in his forehead and said, "You two heroes, I, Li Qi, do not cause trouble with others. .”

"If you two are asking for money, you can report the amount. Li Qi can write an IOU, and the two of you will bring your own IOU and go to my Li's house to get it."

"Li Qi really has important things to do, so he can't stay with the two of you for a long time. I also hope that you will show your noble hands, how much property you need, just report the amount."

"Hehe, fourth child, this guy treats us like thieves begging for money!" A voice inside shouted, and Li Qi frowned. Judging from this person's tone, he didn't seem to care about wealth...

"Korean government, what a big tone." Another voice sneered. "You don't have to guess anymore, the grandfathers are Jin Yiwei."

"I have already found out that the case of commercial tax evasion and tax evasion is inseparable from your Li family."

"Li Qi, you should have heard of my Jinyiwei's methods. If you know the truth, just recruit them. How did those court officials evade taxes... If you dare to conceal anything, hehe, let alone what kind of Korean prince you are, I also want you to try the power of our Jinyiwei Imperial Prison!"

Zhu Di said in a pretentiously fierce tone.Jin Yiwei's prison was already famous among the court officials, and Zhu Di reckoned that with Jin Yiwei's prestige, it would be enough to scare Li Qi out of his mind.

Unexpectedly, Li Qi didn't show the slightest fear, on the contrary, his eyes lit up, he struggled and said, "Is he actually a gentleman in Jinyi who is close to the army?"

"That's great! It's really great!"

"My lords, I'm confessing, I'll report! Take me to His Majesty quickly, I have something important to tell you!"
