Datang: At the beginning, I wanted to rebel against my father-in-law

Chapter 63 Su Feng's Thoughts!
On the way to Yangliu Village, Li Chengqian asked Su Feng many questions.

Su Feng didn't hide anything, and used his own way and understanding to solve Li Chengqian's confusion.

The questions he raised were also very simple, basically all related to people's livelihood and common people.

The reason why Li Chengqian wanted to ask these questions was because these questions had already been answered by someone, the teacher who taught him to read since he was a child.

He really wanted to know what different opinions his imperial teacher and Su Feng had on the same issue.

Then Li Chengqian discovered that he seemed to have learned these things for nothing before.

One of the obvious differences is that what Li Chengqian has learned before is basically theory, which can only exist in the discussion between the two of them.

Once applied to practice, various problems will arise.

Before that, Li Chengqian never thought about these possible problems. It was not until he met Su Feng that he saw the essence of the matter clearly.

For example...the question of how to govern the people!
The teachers used by Li Chengqian have a very simple answer to this question, that is to teach them with Confucianism, so that all the people know that they are loyal to the emperor and patriotic.

As long as the people know that they are loyal to their father at home and loyal to the court and the king outside, then they will willingly hand over what they have to help the court and the king.

This includes the food they grow, their property, and even their own lives.

On the surface, this theory seems to be true, and Li Chengqian has always believed in this theory.

However, when he posed this question and answered it, Su Feng only asked one sentence back.

That is, when the people can't even protect themselves, and the court and the king are still asking for it blindly, what will happen?

Li Chengqian was immediately speechless!

He seemed to understand why Li Shimin sent himself here!

After more than an hour, their carriage arrived at the destination.

Su Feng stepped out of the carriage and looked at the familiar scene here, which gave him a different feeling.

"Your Highness may not know that when I first came here, the people here were busy fighting for the wild vegetables and grass roots in the field!" Su Feng took a deep breath and said in a low voice, looking at Li Chengqian.

"Wild vegetables and grass roots?" Li Chengqian seemed to feel the deepness in Su Feng's words, and his expression changed involuntarily.

Then, Su Feng explained the situation of coming here for the first time to Li Chengqian in great detail.

Following Su Feng's narration, Li Chengqian's hands clenched into fists uncontrollably.

"Unexpectedly, such a thing would happen in the prosperous Tang Dynasty!" Li Chengqian said in a low voice, gnashing his teeth.

To a certain extent, he, like Li Lizhi, believed that in today's prosperous age, at least all the people could be guaranteed to have food, and it was impossible for them to starve or starve to death.

However, the cruel facts slapped them hard!

Seeing that Li Chengqian stopped talking, Su Feng didn't say anything more, but just led them into Yangliu Village, and came to the familiar broken house.

This house was still dilapidated. When Su Feng, Li Chengqian and others were standing here, the figure of a little girl suddenly appeared.

"Sir, is it you?" A surprised smile appeared on Xiaoying's dirty face.

This is exactly where Su Feng and Li Lizhi came to for the first time!

"Unexpectedly, the little guy still remembers me!" Su Feng smiled slightly, knelt down and touched Xiaoying's head.

"Of course I remember, sir, come in!" Xiaoying happily brought Su Feng and others in.

In this dilapidated house, Li Chengqian's cognition was once again shocked.

He never imagined that this kind of house, which could not stop the sun and rain, would actually be inhabited by people and called home.

From the beginning to the end, Li Chengqian stood silently behind Su Feng, watched him meet with Xiaoying's mother and daughter, and then talked about what happened last time and the changes after Su Feng left.

According to the discussion between them, Li Chengqian probably knew what happened here.

After staying here for a long time, Li Chengqian couldn't bear it anymore. He couldn't bear to listen any more, so he took a few guards and walked around Yangliu Village a few times.

Then he was shocked to find that such a situation was not an exception at all.

In this village, there are yellow and emaciated people everywhere.

Without exception, these people were all wearing tattered clothes. When they saw Li Chengqian and the others, they all looked at them with extremely surprised eyes.

Although Su Feng distributed food to every village, he could only guarantee their basic food and clothing, and it was still difficult to get enough food.

This is due to the exploitation of them by the aristocratic family. Originally, due to the drought, there was not much land to cultivate, and they had to hand in food, which caused many people to suffer from malnutrition for a long time.

Malnutrition is okay, at least alive.

But many people don't even have the chance to survive.

"It's so unreasonable!" An angry Li Chengqian stepped on the grass by the side of the road, venting his dissatisfaction.

He really didn't expect that he and his father worked so hard, almost every day from morning to night, just to ensure the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, the scene outside turned out to be so cruel.

"What do you think, Your Highness?" Not long after, Su Feng walked out of the dilapidated house and came to Li Chengqian and asked softly.

He could clearly feel that Li Chengqian's current state was completely different from before he came here.

"Unexpectedly, there are still people living such a life in the world today!" Li Chengqian sighed.

"What your Highness has seen is just the tip of the iceberg. In Yan County... there are many such villages. To say the least, there are still many Yan counties in the world today!" Su Feng nodded slowly.

"Brother-in-law brought me here, presumably not just for me to see these?"

"Just tell me what you need me to do. No matter what your brother-in-law thinks, I will support him!" Li Chengqian took a deep breath, pulled Su Feng and said very seriously.

In fact, Li Chengqian roughly knew Su Feng's thoughts from the moment he saw Xiaoying and her daughter.

"To completely change this situation is not something that will happen overnight, and what I want to do is not just to change these things!"

"Your Highness must have seen it. The root cause of these people is that they don't have enough to eat. Even if I have auspiciousness with a yield of ten thousand catties per mu, how can they sow seeds without land?!"

"What I want to do is very simple, let each of them have land!" Su Feng expressed his thoughts.

"What does brother-in-law mean?" Li Chengqian asked doubtfully.

"It's very simple, cancel the tenants, buy the land of the aristocratic family, and implement the land equalization policy."
