Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

Similarly, in addition to bright yellow, people's use of color can be regarded as no taboo.

There is only one color, which is hardly used by anyone except the students of the academy.That is azure, not because of taboo.It's because azure dyes are more than a hundred times more expensive than dyes of other colors.

Ordinary people can't afford it, and the price of dyeing a robe can be worth half a month's food.

And the nobles don't like sky blue, in their eyes, bright red and green are the most eye-catching.

Therefore, the azure robe has almost become the symbol of the academy students, and the eclectic ponytail also represents the proud and uninhibited character of the academy students.

Liu Bai knew this person was coming a long time ago, so he stood beside the carriage and waited for him to come.

"Mr. First"

After running for a long time, Ma Zhou was really tired.

He was originally in poor health, but now that he was tossing around, an unhealthy blush appeared on his dark face.

Supporting the carriage with one hand, he retched on his knees with the other, as if he wanted to spit out all his internal organs.

Liu Bai frowned, and said: "You have such a poor physique, you should stop tossing around for a few days, don't get tired of yourself before you get down to business."

Ma Zhou smiled embarrassedly.

"Mr. made me laugh, and the students are really helpless. Before leaving, I really didn't have much money in my pocket, and Shangguanyi refused to borrow it. Now the students can't even get together the money to hire a carriage."

Ma Zhou was born in Qinghe County, Shandong Province. He was an orphan when he was young. His family was poor but he liked to study.

In the private school in the village, I worked as a teaching assistant for a few days. Because of my outstanding talent and learning, I got a letter of recommendation from the county government school and became a student of the academy.

There are not many of them who come from aristocratic families, or simply from aristocratic backgrounds.

Except for people like Li Yifu, whose ancestors had a glorious past but then declined, it seems that only Shangguanyi is serious, after the officialdom.

Therefore, Shangguanyi became the richest of this group of people.

It can be seen from the body shape that other people are as thin as monkeys, only Shangguanyi is a little fat man, who weighs nearly two hundred catties at a young age.

From the looks of it, Ma Zhou really ran a short distance.

After slowing down for a long time, I didn't even catch my breath.

Fortunately, there is a stove for boiling water in Liu Bai's carriage.

After taking a sip of hot water, Ma Zhou was revived.

After breathing steadily, Ma Zhou became a little nervous.

He looked a little wretched and said: "Sir, Liang Shilong is extremely cunning, dealing with him requires 12 points of caution!"

After Liu Bai saw his virtues, he laughed aloud.

"What? Have you already suffered from him?"

Ma Zhou said dejectedly: "When I first came here, the old guy gave the students a big blow."

Liu Bai laughed helplessly.

"It's a good thing to suffer a loss. Liang Shilong is a bit more ghostly, but he will definitely not kill you like Tang Min."

Ma Zhou said bitterly: "If it weren't for this, how could the students let it go?"

Liu Bai suddenly felt pity for Liang Shilong.

It is their greatest misfortune to be against this group of youngsters in the academy.

This group of people, who want power and power, ability and ability, are now considered to be in Li Chengqian's lap, and have become the vanguard of the imperial court's reform of the official system.

Whoever falls into his hands is lucky to be tossed to death, and unlucky not to die.

In case Liang Shilong had a clue and fell into the hands of these little bastards, it would be called "every day should not be done", and the earth would not work.

As for Tang Min, the deposed ambassador of Hedong

In Liu Bai's eyes, he was already dead.

There is no need to waste your brains on someone who sees half of his foot in the coffin.

"Did you come here just to complain?"

Ma Zhou was taken aback, and immediately slapped his forehead.

"I almost forgot, this is a letter from Li Yifu, Li Yanshou, and Lai Jilian to Mr."

Ma Zhou handed the envelope to Liu Bai.

Liu Bai just glanced at it, and his face immediately became extremely serious.

"boarding!"

He took Ma Zhou into the carriage.

Instructing Xu Chu to slowly march towards Jinan City, Liu Bai began to read the letter carefully.

Judging from the time of inscription, this letter has been written for four days.

After Liu Bai finished reading, he closed his eyes and meditated for a moment.

Suddenly he said, "Have you seen it?"

Ma Zhou quickly put down the water glass, sat upright and said, "The students have already seen it!"

Liu Bai pondered for a moment, and said: "So, Wei Zheng is no longer in Feng Chan's team, but has been lobbying the old disciples in Hedong and Shandong?"

"The students even suspected that he is now in Jinan Mansion!"

Liu Bai took a deep breath and nodded slightly.

Ma Zhou's guess is not unreasonable.

Before that, Liu Bai was still wondering, logically speaking, Wei Zheng should strongly oppose such a purely spiritual activity as Taishan Fengchan.

But not only did Wei Zheng not stop him, but he happily followed the team and ran all the way to Shandong.

It turned out that his purpose was to contact his old disciples!

No wonder, Liang Shilong talked about him from left to right, talking a lot of nonsense, and dared not express his purpose directly.

The letter written by the three of them was very clear.

On several pages, the whole article is talking about one thing.

In the process of carrying out the reform of the official system, the pilots of the three of them were in their respective hometowns, which belonged to Hedong Road.

And they inadvertently discovered that several state capitals in Hedong Road were actually using money from the internal treasury to buy farmland!

This move is so intriguing.

Almost instantly, Liu Bai guessed what Wei Zheng and the others were thinking.

Take back the land and return to national ownership!

Chapter 734 Going up is not a business, there will always be times when he begs you

The fullness of the internal library of official uniforms in various places is one of the important criteria for evaluating officials every three years.

Without money, nothing can be done.

Most of the tax money paid by the common people has to be sent to the national treasury, and the local governments can only withhold less than [-]%.

And these [-]% need to be divided up at the four levels of road, state, prefecture, and county to meet the expenses of local officials.

Therefore, using the money in the internal treasury to buy land for the country is completely thankless.

If the chief officer of Hedong Road finds out, he won't even be able to escape a punishment!

Especially in Hedong Road, when he was under the control of Tang Min, the dethroned ambassador of Hedong, doing this kind of thing is not much different from courting death!

Liu Bai thought of a deeper level.

Land conflicts can be said to be the root of all conflicts.

Throughout the dynasties, the more serious the annexation of land, the more cases of rebellion in various places.

But this is an inevitable trend!

As long as a country is based on landlords, land annexation will inevitably occur.

Land is not limited to farmland.

From this point of view, the royal family is the biggest landlord.

When Liu Bai was thinking about something in his mind, he couldn't care about the expression on his face.

The brow stretched sometimes, and sometimes wrinkled.

Sitting opposite Ma Zhou, his legs were shaking non-stop, looking extremely nervous.

He didn't know what the gentleman was thinking about.

In his understanding, as long as the husband shows such an expression, someone will definitely be unlucky!

I just don’t know if this unlucky bastard could be me

Ma Zhou swallowed his saliva and decided to jump off the carriage.

But the Liu family's carriage is very light, and the horse that pulls it is a first-class horse.

jump off?

It's better to wipe the neck directly.

So Ma Zhou could only wait nervously.

As everyone knows, what Liu Bai was thinking about had nothing to do with Ma Zhou at all.

"Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng"

Liu Bai murmured that it was always Wei Zheng's name.

At this moment, even he couldn't help feeling that Wei Zheng's eyes were really vicious to the extreme!

Thinking of such an eternal strategy of land and state ownership, Wei Zheng is enough to overwhelm Fang Xuanling and others, and he can be called the number one minister in Zhenguan!

Liu Bai repeated Wei Zheng's name over and over ten times.

In the past, he always thought that Wei Zheng made his living by relying on honesty and lip service.

Later, after knowing that Wei Zheng represented the interests of the Shandong family, his views on him changed slightly.

Wei Zheng is not a completely neutral person, his relationship with the Shandong family is closer than that of the royal family!

In a sense, he is completely the spokesperson of the Shandong aristocratic family in the court!

However, it is precisely because of this that he can possess the ability to deter the Shandong family.

During the Zhenguan dynasty, Wei Zheng contributed a lot to Shandong's stability!

Without him, I don't know how many turmoil there will be in Shandong!

Today, Liu Bai discovered a completely different Wei Zheng.

It is no longer possible to describe Wei Zheng as 'unselfish'.

For the sake of this country, he didn't even intend to take the lives of his entire family, or even the reputation of the entire ethnic group!

The landlord class will continue to be strong for thousands of years, how can Wei Zheng shake it?

Liu Bai suddenly sneered again.

"He has a good plan"

Ma Zhou licked his lips and asked cautiously: "Sir, you?"

Only then did Liu Bai remember that Ma Zhou was still sitting opposite him.

"Since you already know what Wei Zheng is doing, why didn't you tell the prince first?"

Ma Zhou shook his head like a rattle.

"Sir, you are joking. Although His Highness the Crown Prince has always been clean, he still has a large tract of land in his hands. If you tell the Crown Prince about Wei Zheng's plan, the Crown Prince will probably chop off Wei Zheng's head before His Majesty returns."

Liu Bai looked at Ma Zhou with a half-smile, and said, "Sir, the farmland in my hand is ten times more than that of the crown prince, and I can be called the biggest landlord in the entire Guanzhong. Then why do you dare to send this letter to me?" Give it to me?"

Liu Bai's words were very clear.

As a vested interest, Wei Zheng's plan touched the core interests of the Liu family.
