Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Yu Chigong stared wide-eyed, and said: "He dares?! I have worked for him for so many years. If it weren't for me, Yu Chigong, would he have become the emperor? Now I want to demote my official, grandma!"

"Then you were not demoted?"

"No! Absolutely not! To tell you the truth, my governor of Dingzhou is not an ordinary governor of Dingzhou, but..."

"what?"

Yu Chigong smiled slyly, and said: "The hereditary governor of Dingzhou! Hehe, if I hadn't been given such an official position, even if Li Shimin drove me away, I wouldn't have come to Chang'an!"

Guo Ye is well aware of the power of the word hereditary. Whether it is his Pingyang County Duke or Yu Chigong's E Guogong, if it is passed down to the next generation, it must be downgraded.Even in the best case, the imperial court would consider their merits and not degrade them. It would be nothing more than an inheritance of the title and a fixed income every year, but there would still be no official positions in the imperial court!

Yu Chigong, the hereditary governor of Dingzhou, is different. His son can not only inherit his title, but also the official position of governor of Dingzhou!In modern terms, Yu Chigong's son was born as a real department-level cadre!This nima is really awesome!

Guo Ye's heart was full of envy and hatred, but he knew that no matter how much credit he made, His Majesty Li Er would not let him become the hereditary governor.

Without it, there is no chance!

What is Yuchi Gong's greatest contribution?It wasn't that he beheaded the general and captured the flag, and was born and died for His Majesty Li Er, but was sent by His Majesty Li Er to threaten Li Yuan during the Xuanwu Gate incident!

Who would dare to do this job?Aren't you afraid that His Majesty Li Er will turn his face and deny anyone, shirk responsibility, and hide everything?That is to say, Yu Chigong was not stingy, and came to Li Yuan with a steel knife that was dripping with blood, forcing Li Yuan to abdicate!How could Guo Ye have the opportunity to make such a contribution?

Guo Ye sighed, and said: "Mr. E, to put it bluntly, you are acting like a good boy for taking advantage of it! This is the hereditary governor of Dingzhou. I don't need to say how good it is, we all understand it! You still make up your majesty like this, don't you?" kind!"

"Hi! What do you know? The emperor used this official position to coax me out of Chang'an because he didn't like me. Don't think that I, Yu Chigong, can't tell because of a rough person!"

Guo Ye rolled the whites of his eyes when he heard this, he sneered and remained silent!

Of course Yu Chigong understood what he meant, and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about our majesty. Just talking about the governor of Dingzhou is not a good job! I, Yu Chigong, was tricked!"

"Dingzhou is located in the Central Plains, densely populated, and very prosperous. Although it can't be compared with Chang'an, it is also the capital of the top state in my Tang Dynasty. Duke E, you are so unpopular!"

"Where? You only know one thing and don't know the other. The bad thing about Dingzhou City is that it's densely populated!"

"How do you say this?"

"Did you know that our Datang implements the land equalization system?"

Guo Ye, who had never studied the land system of the Tang Dynasty, replied vaguely, "Yes, so what's the matter?"

"What's the matter? Every person is born with [-] mu of land. They are not allowed to resell it, they can only cultivate it, and they can take it back after death! Dingzhou City has a lot of people and little land. Now there is no land without an owner. I never Where can I find land to distribute to them?"

Guo Ye said: "The Tang Dynasty has been established for so many years, the population is increasing, and the situation of not having enough land is too common! I think back then, my Guo Ye family didn't get a share of the land and became tenants! Why are you so anxious? "

Yu Chigong said: "I can't afford to lose that person! I offended a villain in Chang'an City...I'm not talking about your Majesty, you can pick the bones out of an egg, let alone this is an obvious mistake! Now the Ministry of Households reprimands me The paperwork from the state government comes once a month. It’s more accurate than women’s stuff! Think about me, Yu Chigong, who has ruled the world for so many years, how have I ever suffered such a dark loss?”

After hearing this, Guo Ye felt refreshed and said, "Mr. E, don't worry. This problem! It's a trivial matter, and I, Guo Ye, can help you solve it!"

"What? I said boy Guo, you didn't drink too much, did you? Could it be that you can conjure the earth for no reason?"

Guo Ye smiled slightly, and said: "I, Guo Ye, am not a god, so of course I can't create a land. But it's not impossible to think about it. Although Dingzhou is densely populated, it's okay to divide [-] acres per person. It's just that some wealthy families It’s just that they occupy too much land and distribute it unevenly. As long as they take over the land they occupy and redistribute it, won’t this problem be solved?”

"I said, boy Guo, don't mess around." Yuchi Gong heard this suggestion, his head shook, and cold sweat broke out, and he said: "These rich and powerful families are intertwined in the imperial court, and they call the wind and rain in the local area. I, Yuchi Gong, I can't afford it!"

Guo Ye looked at Yu Chigong quite playfully, and said: "Mr. E, you are not even afraid of His Majesty, but are you afraid of these rich and powerful families?"

Yu Chigong still had the same sly smile, and said, "What's the saying? A gentleman... a gentleman's wife can play with him casually?"

Guo Ye sweated profusely: "I've never heard of it! How could there be such a thing?"

"Yes! Absolutely! We can't remember what a gentleman's wife can do. Anyway, I've heard it said many times!"

"A gentleman's wife? A gentleman's wife..." Guo Ye muttered, and finally realized suddenly: "You mean that a gentleman can deceive him? This is what Mencius said, which means that a gentleman can take what is reasonable. Lie to him. It has nothing to do with a gentleman's wife! You play with other people's wives, no matter whether you are a gentleman or a villain, you have to fight with your life!"

"Yes! That's what you said! Our Majesty, on the surface, it's a..."

Seeing that Yu Chigong was still talking nonsense, Guo Ye quickly snorted coldly and said, "Duke E, please be careful with your words!"

"Hi! What are you afraid of? There are no outsiders here!"

"If you do this again, I don't dare to drink with you anymore, let's see you later!" Guo Ye was about to leave!

Yuchi Gong said: "Don't go, don't go! Can't I listen to you?"

"It's almost there!"

Yu Chigong continued: "Actually, Your Majesty is still a gentleman at heart! Our Wei Chigong just treats him with disrespect. He thinks I'm a big bastard, so he can hold his nose and bear it! Those wealthy families are different. On the surface, they are A gentleman, but a villain on the inside! Literati don’t use knives to kill people, they are vicious and vicious, and they are hard to guard against! If a certain family offends them, they will not even think about sleeping in peace!”

Guo Ye said: "You don't need to offend them, I, Guo Ye, will do it for you! You, Yuchi Gong, are afraid of them, but I, Guo Ye, are not!"

"Are you coming?" Yu Chigong's eyes rolled around, and he said: "Come for the things that offend others, and give the things that are beneficial to me, Wei Chigong! Uh..."

Yu Chigong pondered for a moment, then asked hesitantly: "Do we have this kind of friendship?"

Guo Ye smiled slightly and said, "To make friends is to exchange hearts for hearts. If you say yes, you will have it. If you say you don't have me, Guo Ye will not force it!"

"But..." Yu Chigong gritted his teeth, and said, "Mr. Pingyang, if you want to say that, I, Wei Chigong, can't cheat you! Do you know which tyrant occupies the most land in Dingzhou Prefecture?"

"I don't know that!"

"That's the Boling Cui family! Do you understand the Boling Cui family? We are one of the five great gentry families in the Tang Dynasty! Can you afford to offend them? The ancestors of the family were dignitaries for generations, and they were the servants of the family. They were all literate. , read a lot of books! Don’t say that you can touch the Boling Cui family at every turn, even if you really move, the spittle stars can drown you!"

Guo Ye poured a glass of wine, took a sip, and said, "To tell you the truth, it is the Boling Cui family that Guo wants to touch!"

"You really have the guts?"

"What's this talking about? With our identity, do we still brag?"

Yuchi said respectfully: "Mr. Pingyang, thank you for your kindness! If you can really buy four or five hundred hectares of land from the Boling Cui family for me, I... I will recognize you as a brother! Let's chop off the chicken's head and burn the yellow paper, from now on, we will have the same blessings and share the same difficulties!"

Guo Ye quickly stopped him!

Just kidding, Yu Chigong is of the same generation as Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Li Jing, and even Chai Shao. If he becomes a brother with him, let alone how to explain to Li Jing and his group, then he and the real old man Huo Guogong Chai Shao , it's not easy to call it!

"Then what, my father-in-law, I have made obeisance to Duke E. From now on, we will call you brothers. I will call you big brother, and you can call me good brother." Is this a human language?

Guo Ye said: "No, no! You are my elder, and if we swore, wouldn't our seniority be messed up? Absolutely not!"

"Seniority, what is seniority? If we really care about seniority, our emperor...has a lot of heroes among the beautiful women selected! He is not afraid of others saying, what are you afraid of, we all have our own opinions! If someone disagrees , You let him come to me for Yuchi Jingde's theory!"

Guo Ye was sweating coldly, and said: "No... I said Duke E, can we talk properly? Don't keep talking about your majesty! Can I compare with your majesty? People will die if they compare people, and goods will be thrown away!"

"I'm not talking about good things, I'm talking about bad things! Let me tell you, when it comes to bad things, Your Majesty has done a lot more than you..."

Guo Ye stood up and said, "If you dare to say it, I dare not listen! Guo Mou leaves!"

Yu Chigong stretched out his big hand, and said: "I said Guo Ye, do you regret it and dare not fight against Boling Cui? You deliberately find fault, and don't want to get involved in this muddy water! You should have said it earlier, and you are talking about those stupid people. What are you doing!"
