After three years of enfeoffment, the waste prince shocked the court boss

"Sure enough, the temperament of that dandy has not changed. The dog was beaten by him back then, and now it seems better than before."

"In the land of a state, some harvests depend entirely on spring plowing. It is lawless to destroy spring plowing and let good fields go to waste!"

"Looting so many people, hey, I don't know how many people will be displaced."

"A seventh-rank official dares to despise Zhizhou. He really disregards the court's discipline. This kind of official should be dismissed!"

The courtiers couldn't help whispering when they saw it.

……

"King An actually did such a thing, I am ashamed to be my brother.

I ask my father to issue a decree to reprimand, to make decisions for the people of Xingzhou, and for the officials of Guangyang Mansion!

Don't let the people in the southwest feel cold, and don't let the officials who work hard for me in the southwest feel cold. "

Prince Li Yan came out and said.

Then the officials of the Prince's family also stood up and spoke out, demanding that King An be severely punished, and they even made a big effort.

The crown prince hated Li Su to the bone, even more because he was inhumane, and even Li Yan suspected that the child in the crown prince's belly was Li Su's.

Now that someone came forward to impeach Li Su, he would naturally not miss this opportunity to beat the dog in the water.

"Your Majesty, I think it's better to send someone to investigate this matter."

Pan Feng, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials who had been silent all this time, spoke.

Seeing someone impeaching her son-in-law, Pan Feng naturally couldn't pretend that the matter had nothing to do with him.

A while ago, my daughter Pan Wanyi wrote to me that everything was fine in Lingnan, and Li Su loved her very much.

Moreover, her daughter praised Li Su generously in her letter, although she did not tell her everything she saw in Lingnan in detail.

But relying on the information revealed between the lines, Pan Feng still felt that Li Su could not do anything evil.

"Your Majesty, I will investigate again and again, at least 20 days!

We can wait, but Chungeng can't wait!The hijacked Xingzhou people are still living in dire straits! "

Han Yeqin knelt down and paid respects.

If you don't agree with what I said, you are a fool, and I will kill you.

"Master Han is right!

Right now, I ask my father to quickly order people to go to Lingnan to order King An to return the detained people of Xingzhou, and let the people go back to complete the spring plowing! "

The prince followed suit.

"The parents who gave birth to me also know me, His Highness the Crown Prince. It seems that in the future, we should walk around more with His Highness the Crown Prince."

When Han Yeqin heard the prince's words, he immediately introduced the prince as a confidant, thinking in his heart.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince shows pity for the common people, he is really a model for me to be a good prince, and I agree with you!"

"My minister agrees!"

Officials from the prince's family paid homage in unison.

Emperor Qian looked at the attitude of the courtiers below, remained silent and struggled inwardly.

Although he didn't want to believe that Li Su could do things that hurt the people, the truth was before his eyes.

The blood letter is not fake, besides, Chun Geng really waits for no one.

If the spring plowing is delayed, the fields in that state will be abandoned.

The past two years have been full of natural and man-made disasters, and the north just experienced a severe drought the year before last, so it really can't stand the toss.

It will take at least three to five years for the high-yield seeds presented by Li Sujin to be popularized, and it is impossible to count on them now.

At worst, the imperial decree just asked Li Su to return the man first, and then make a conclusion after the matter is clarified.

At this moment, the great eunuch Wang Quan walked behind Emperor Qian, bowed and said in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, the hidden guards at Lingnan just sent a secret report."

Hearing this, Emperor Qian's eyes lit up.

"Quick! Present it."

Chapter 38 What If They Don't Want to Go Back

Emperor Qian took the secret letter handed over by Wang Quan, and read it at a glance.

Yang Sanduo's records were very detailed, and the thick secret letter made Emperor Qian read it with gusto.

The courtiers in the palace saw Emperor Qian picking up a letter and looked at it, nodding and nodding while reading it, and everyone dared not make a sound to disturb it.

Those officials who supported the decree for Li Su to be returned to the people of Xingzhou were still kneeling there, and did not dare to get up without Emperor Qian's permission.

So, everyone waited anxiously for a quarter of an hour, and the officials of the crown prince also knelt there in embarrassment for a quarter of an hour, before Emperor Qian raised his head.

Just when they thought Emperor Qian would let the kneeling officials stand up, Emperor Qian said directly:

"Just now you said that you want King An to return to the people of Xingzhou?"

The officials of the Prince's line didn't know why, but they still said:

"Yes, this matter is extremely urgent. One day later, countless people in Xingzhou will suffer from displacement, and Xingzhou will also waste good fields due to delays in spring plowing."

"What if the people of Xingzhou don't want to go back?"

Emperor Qian suddenly stood up and said loudly.

Baiguan was taken aback by Emperor Qian's sudden move, and didn't know what happened.

"Could it be related to the letter in His Majesty's hand just now?"

Everyone guessed.

"How could it be! Who wants to leave their hometown and live without a fixed place!"

Han Yeqin, who was kneeling in front, exclaimed.

"Hmph! I just got a secret letter from the secret guard of Lingnan Mansion, which happened to record your impeachment just now."

Emperor Qian stared at Han Yeqin sharply and said indifferently.

"Wang Quan, read it to them." Emperor Qian said.

"Yes."

"King An sent Lingnan officials to various places in Xingzhou to preach about immigration.

They promised each household 20 taels of silver, and those who moved would share their fields. After settling down, Lingnan Prefecture will bear all the living security, so as not to worry about the future.

All the poor people in Xingzhou who had no land but little land came here one after another. One passed on ten, ten passed on one hundred, relatives called friends, neighbors followed each other, one household moved, one village moved, and the number exceeded ten thousand.

……

Immigrants are resettled in the outskirts of Lingnan, and housing is divided into households.

The promised money, food, fields, etc. were distributed one by one, and there was no delay in payment.

……

Immigrants who choose to continue farming will be given high-yield grain seeds by the government, and all newly opened land will be owned by the immigrants.

There are also more people who choose to work in the city, and they can get as little as two liang of monthly allowance to as many as five liang of monthly allowance, and women can also get two monthly allowance.

More skilled craftsmen and those who can read and break characters can get more than twelve monthly examples.

……

The immigrant people sent their children to school to study, and they did not stop to study. For a while, there were nearly a thousand students gathered.

……

The immigrants from Xingzhou are all grateful for the kindness of His Royal Highness King An. Some immigrants said:

King An is a god, and he wished he could come to Lingnan one day sooner. "

After Wang Quan finished reading, the hall was silent, and a needle could be heard falling.

The news revealed in the letter is really shocking.

The tens of thousands of people in Xingzhou who had just moved to Lingnan were able to be arranged in an orderly manner, which shows Wang An Anbang's ability to govern the people.

You must know that these are tens of thousands of low-level people with their families. The resettlement of people of this scale is actually no different from the resettlement of refugees caused by military disasters and floods.

Thinking about how the imperial court was in a hurry to resettle those refugees, and seeing that King An had allowed tens of thousands of immigrants to resume production in just a few days, and the courtiers were all ashamed.

Emperor Qian looked coldly at the reactions of the courtiers below, without saying a word.

"How is it possible! How is it possible! The letter from the prefect of Guangyang Prefecture clearly stated that An Wangkeng deceived the people to emigrate."

Han Yeqin's face was pale, and he muttered to himself.

"You let me issue an order for King An to return the people of Xingzhou, and now I will ask you again, is this Xingzhou immigrant willing to go back?"

Qiandi opened his mouth and said.

"Your Majesty, the population of the people is related to the development and stability of a place.

If everyone is like King An, arbitrarily absorbing people across the border, wouldn't I be messed up?

How does this allow subordinate officials in various places to govern? "

Han Yeqin did not give up and struggled.

"Hmph, the secret letter mentioned that the people who are willing to follow King An to Lingnan are poor people with little land.

If the officials of Xingzhou allowed the tillers to have their fields and the people to live and work in peace and contentment, how could they be taken away by King An?

You are holding the salary of the imperial court, enjoying the respect of the people, not thinking about how to feed and clothe the people under your rule, but blaming King An for taking them away.

Following An Wang can make his family have land and food, and let his children study and understand.

If the people don't leave, are they going to wait in Xingzhou to wait until they can't survive and raise a big rebellion? "

Qiandi said angrily.

"However, King An moved all the people to Lingnan, and the fields in Xingzhou were all delayed in spring plowing. The loss of food is immeasurable."

Han Yeqin continued, he can't lose this time, otherwise there will be no future for him.

Even at the risk of contradicting Emperor Qian, he still needs to accuse Wang An of several crimes, otherwise there will be no good end for those waiting for him.

As long as King An's charges are confirmed, even if Emperor Qian can't understand him anymore, he will not do anything to him because of the court's law.

Han Yeqin was sure of this, so he tried his best to find Wang An's crime.

"The food loss is immeasurable? I ask you, whose field is the abandoned field? Whose loss is the food loss?"

Emperor Qian walked up to Han Yeqin, looked down at him and said.

"Naturally, it is the fields I have worked so hard on, and what I have lost is the grain I have worked so hard on."

Han Yeqin didn't know why.

"The secret letter talked about the annexation of land in Xingzhou, the people rented more land to cultivate, and most of the land was in the hands of powerful gentry.

Has my treasury ever collected a penny from them?Have I ever seen a grain of rice in my granary? "

Emperor Qian glared, already on the verge of fury.

Baiguan was too frightened by Emperor Qian's power to dare to breathe.

The dignitaries and gentry in Daqian have always not paid land tax, which is one of the privileges they enjoy.

So a lot of fertile land was collected by them by various means.

This is also one of the reasons why Dagan has a vast territory and a large population, but it is unsustainable to pay taxes every year.

Several generations of kings in Dagan wanted to curb the evil effects of land annexation, but with little success.

"Even so, the grain produced in the field should have flowed into the market. The lack of so much grain in the market will also cause turmoil in the Southwest."

At this time, Han Yeqin insisted on Wang An's sabotage of spring plowing, and he must be charged no matter what.

Just when Emperor Qian was about to get angry, a guard in front of the palace came in from outside the palace and knelt down and said:

"Your Majesty, there is an envoy from Lingnan to meet with you outside the palace gate on important matters."
