Chapter 1170 Good scolding
Liu Dongqing has heard of many deeds of Jia Ping'an, such as the madman in Beijing, for example, he is very knowledgeable, and Xinxue is the deadly enemy of the gentry, etc.
What kind of person is Jia Pingan?
Liu Dongqing thinks he should be a serious and cold person.
So when Jia Pingan said this **** world, Liu Dongqing felt wrong.
Jia Ping'an wanted to find a paperweight to shoot a desk, but couldn't find it.
He simply pulled out the horizontal knife and slapped it on the desk.
"Take someone!"
Liu Dongqing's heart trembled, "Duke, that's a hermit..."
"Is the hermit a human being?"
Jia Pingan asked.
Liu Dongqing was silent.
As we all know, hidden households are the private property of the upper class... Note that it is private property, not people.
Yeah, disposing of your private property is none of your business?
There are clauses about slaves in the laws of the Tang Dynasty. For example, masters are not allowed to kill slaves without reason, but in practice, slaves are often killed by masters. Who cares?
Li Jingye came out, "Brother, let me go."
Jia Pingan nodded and said, "Remember, don't lose your prestige."
…
Wang Shi, Wang Jihe and others are discussing this matter.
"Jia Ping'an came to Qinghe, he must want to make trouble. He didn't come for the Wang family, but for the Cui family."
Wang Ji is very arrogant, but his IQ is not lacking.
"Cui's reputation is too high, and Jia Ping'an didn't dare to do it directly, so he wanted to use Wang's to move Cui's, so this matter should not be underestimated."
Wang Ji said solemnly: "Is the guilty person ready?"
Wang She nodded, "It's a servant of the family. The old man said, he just goes. The family will give 50,000 yuan, and his child will take one to Erlang's side to accompany him to study... The servant is grateful and said that he is willing to die for Wang."
Wang Ji nodded, "That's good. When Jia Pingan finds trouble, hand him over and remind him...Jia Pingan is vicious."
His eyes were slightly cold, Wang She understood, "How about... let him commit suicide?"
Wang Ji nodded, "That's how it should be."
Wang She stood up, "I'll make the arrangements."
As soon as he got up, he heard a loud noise from the direction of the door.
Boom!
Everyone rushed out, and saw the gate fell to the ground, dust filled the sky.
A burly and outrageous official walked in, turned his eyes, stared at Wang's group of people, and asked, "Who is Wang Ji?"
Wang Ji stepped forward and cupped his hands, "My old man, Wang Ji, may I ask why you came here?"
The official came over, looked at Wang Ji carefully, and said, "You look like a dog, but why don't you do human affairs?"
Wang Ji was furious, "This old man is Cui's in-law, what do you think?"
Snapped!
The official slapped it away, obviously keeping his strength. But Wang Ji opened his mouth, and with a puff, he spit out a mouthful of blood, which was mixed with a few big teeth.
"take away!"
The official was Li Jingye. He took a step forward and pulled Wang She out, "Where are Zhao's two children?"
Wang She said angrily: "You trespassed on the Wang family and injured the head of the Wang family, and wait for retribution."
"The so-called retribution refers to the Cui family?" Li Jingye said with a smirk: "Yeah, you asked me a question but you didn't answer it. This is stubborn resistance... Can you see it later?"
The eyelids of the accompanying people jumped wildly.
"I see."
What is this uncle going to do?
Li Jingye kicked him suddenly.
"oh…"
Wang She's legs were clamped tightly, his face flushed.
Li Jingye found out another person and asked, "Where are those two children?"
“At home in….”
"Lead the way!"
Li Jingye took people to Zhuangzi.
"This is the one."
Li Jingye pushed open the door, and it was dark inside.
He gradually adapted to the environment, and saw two children lying on the ground.
Both children were bruised and swollen, and their leg bones were distorted... Both fell into a coma at the moment.
Li Jingye took a deep breath, "Save people."
He went out, and the man who led the way said without him asking, "After Mrs. Zhao assassinated Wang Liang, the servants at home were filled with righteous indignation, and spontaneously ... spontaneously beat him."
Li Jingye grabbed him, "What's wrong with the child? How dare you wait?"
The man trembled: "It has nothing to do with me!"
…
Jia Pingan was stationed at the station and received a lot of news.
"The Cui clan of Boling sent people to Qinghe."
"Qinghe Cui and Boling Cui, is this breaking bones and connecting tendons?"
Jia Pingan sneered, "It's good to be here."
"Duke, Cui Chen asks to see you."
Jia Pingan said: "Let him wait, where is the prince?"
Bao Dong said: "Your Highness said to go out and have a look."
Jia Pingan nodded.
Cui Chen was brought here.
"What does Zhao Guogong mean?"
Cui Chen came straight to the point, "The Wang family is the Cui family's in-laws. It's nothing to kill a hermit, but Zhao Guogong is relentless. Is this trying to attack the Cui family?"
He looked at Jia Pingan, and for a moment he hoped that Jia Pingan would take action against the Cui family, so that the gentry would win the advantage of public opinion.
"So what?"
Jia Ping'an said: "Jia is here, you can tell the Cui family, sit tight, don't be timid."
"Brother."
Li Jingye came back, "That Mrs. Wang was so vicious that he even broke the legs of Feng Wu's two children and threw them in the house, intending to starve them to death and make an example of them."
Jia Pingan's face was ashen, and asked: "Is this the Qinghe Cui family's in-law? This is the Wang family that the Cui family wants to protect?"
Cui Chen said in astonishment: "It's just a child of a hidden family."
In the eyes of the gentry, the royal family is crowned with monkeys, and those powerful and high-ranking officials are just a bunch of vulgar things... At this level, ordinary people are like pigs and dogs in their eyes, and hermits... What is that? Just a bunch of dead things.
Snapped!
Jia Ping'an slapped him away and cursed, "Get lost!"
Cui Chen stood up covering his face, but calmed down instead.
"good!"
He turned and left.
Jia Ping'an's voice came from behind.
"Take down the Wang family, ransack the house!"
Mrs. Wang was in anger at the moment, and someone said: "Mrs. Cui has already sent someone to negotiate, how dare that **** slave not let him go? Just wait and see, he has good fruits to eat."
"somebody is coming."
The newly repaired gate was knocked open again, and a group of soldiers rushed in.
"Kneel down and don't kill!"
The Wang family fell.
Teams of cavalry rushed into Wang's manor, took down those stewards, and asked people to take care of Zhuangzi.
Wang's people entered Jia Ping'an's residence, and then there was a miserable howl inside.
…
"The miserable howls in Jia Ping'an's residence went straight to the sky, like hell. People from the Wang family involved Feng Wu and Zhao's family. It is said that all of them had their legs broken. Jia Ping'an is so poisonous!"
Cui Chen was slapped, but at the moment he was exceptionally calm.
Cui Jing took a look at his swollen cheek, "He did it for Cui Shi to see, and he hopes that Cui Shi will help save Wang Shi right now."
Cui Chen said: "Could it be that Mrs. Cui wants to sit and watch?"
"Of course not." Cui Jing said: "There are people from Boling, Fan Yang's Lu family should have just received the news, and Zhao family, the gentry of Hebei Road will not sit idly by... This is the meaning of death. "
He took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Jia Ping'an is here for the gentry. The gentry are connected with each other, and each family has its own relationship. Together, it will be a huge monster. If Jia Ping'an is smart, he should meet him." receive…"
…
After the Wang family was taken down, many things happened, but on the same day, a group of students entered Qinghe County.
"They are all students in the school, and they are very good at calculating. Let them calculate Wang's hidden fields and hidden households."
Jia Ping'an has long been prepared.
"Where is the prince?"
"Not back yet."
…
Li Hong was wandering around Qinghe County with more than ten riders.
After working, the farmer sat on the ridge of the field and took out the clay pot to drink water.
"Hic!"
Hiccup loudly, farmer Chen Erlang looked at the field in front of him comfortably.
A group of people walked slowly along the field ridge.
"Meet the nobleman."
Chen Erlang got up and saluted.
The young man headed by nodded, "I waited to enjoy this, and missed the way..."
Chen Erlang showed them the way enthusiastically, and the young man thanked him and asked, "Are you a hermit?"
Chen Erlang nodded.
The young man asked in amazement, "Why do you want to join the big clan when you have your own land?"
Chen Erlang said with a smile: "The nobleman doesn't know that when I enter the big family, I will pay less taxes..."
"How many generations later?" The boy said: "I heard that the big family will take advantage of the opportunity of the hermit's illness or family difficulties to annex their fields. Will you become slaves in the future?"
Chen Erlang sighed: "Your honor also knows... At the beginning, Auntie was ill and had no choice but to borrow money from Cui's. The illness was not cured, Auntie also went, but the borrowed money had to be repaid. Later, the fields were confiscated. Well, my family has to live..."
A follower said: "His family's field has been confiscated. If he doesn't follow, he will freeze and starve to death."
The young man asked: "When the land was granted, there were Yongye Field and Koufen Field, and Koufen Field cannot be traded... Where is your Koufen Field?"
Chen Erlang said in astonishment: "The nobleman is afraid...the nobleman doesn't know, saying that the land is divided by mouth and no trading is allowed, but the local government can't control those big families."
The young man nodded, "That is to say, no matter the place, the big clan annexed the land."
Chen Erlang squatted there, giggling, a little self-deprecating, "It is said that there are gods in Beizhou, and the god's surname is Cui! Who dares to care about the gods?"
The boy is Li Hong.
He stood up and said, "Thank you."
Back to the station, he found Jia Ping'an.
"Today I went to the countryside of Qinghe and talked with a few farmers. In words, I was in awe of Cui and thought it was a god."
Li Hong was a little annoyed.
Jia Pingan said: "At the beginning, the first emperor wanted to marry the gentry, but he couldn't get it. Your royal family regards the gentry as gods, what will happen to the people?"
The strict hierarchy of this era is beyond the comprehension of later generations. The existence of the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System has further subdivided the hierarchy.
Li Hong felt disappointed, "Why is this so?"
Jia Pingan smiled, "The Han Dynasty implemented the inspection system. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Cao Wei occupied most of the world, and the talent, money and food can be said to be able to crush Shu and Wu. Why can't the world be pacified for many years?"
Li Hong said: "Shu and Wu are not weak."
Jia Pingan nodded, "Yes! They are not weak. But you have to see Cao Wei's situation at that time. Cao Wei took over Zhengtong. Fuel-efficient lamps, they have to bow their heads when they team up with Cao Wei, and Cao Wei, who is constantly fighting internally, can't form a joint force, so there is the so-called nine-rank Zhongzheng system."
Li Hong was silent.
It turns out that the end of Han Dynasty can be interpreted from another angle?
"The so-called Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System is actually Cao Wei's method to appease the aristocratic family and ease the conflict between the two sides. The Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System has been poisonous for many years. It reached its peak in the former Jin Dynasty, and its legacy has reached the present."
"Over the years, from the emperor to the common people, they have consciously or unconsciously regarded those gentry families who have been passed down for many years as gods. The royal family is the royal family, and then the dignitaries and high-ranking officials, local big families... Most of the officials are from these families, this is Another nine-rank Zhongzheng system."
Jia Pingan waved his hand, and Bao Dong and others left.
"Look good, don't allow anyone to approach."
Jia Ping'an's order made people feel terrified, and Bao Dong and others immediately dispersed.
Li Hong was quite happy, "Uncle has something to say."
Jia Pingan glanced outside the door and said, "What is a country? What is a dynasty? Who is the owner of the dynasty?"
“Country…country and home.”
“A country is a collective composed of countless families.”
"What is a dynasty? A dynasty is a country ruled by an emperor. Who is the owner of the dynasty?"
Li Hong said: "The emperor."
"wrong."
Jia Pingan said: "When you read history, you can see the changes in the Qin and Han dynasties to the present. The power of the emperor is often the most stable in the early days of the dynasty, but after a few generations, the emperor's authority is no longer...Why?"
Li Hong was thinking carefully.
"Power minister."
"Where do the powerful ministers come from? Where is the authority of the emperor?"
Jia Ping'an looked relaxed while drinking tea.
Li Hong said: "The powerful ministers came from forming a party, and the emperor's authority...was taken away."
"This is just the surface. I will teach you a lesson today. This lesson should not be taught by anyone except the empress."
Li Hong was excited, "Yes."
Jia Ping's expression was dazed for a moment, "After the founding of the dynasty, it was also the time when the martial arts were at its peak and the emperor's authority was the highest, and then the dynasty entered a period of prosperity...During this period of prosperity, the dignitaries and officials at the top...the powerful clans below, they will all Do one thing, that is to merge capital."
"Capital?" Li Hong obviously didn't quite understand this concept.
"What is capital? Capital is all the tools to create wealth. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, until the Tang Dynasty, what is capital?"
Li Hong said: "Businessmen earn limited money, it is the fields."
The largest means of production in an agricultural society is the field.
"There is still population." Jia Ping'an felt that this student was very smart, "People are profit-seeking, and those superior people will focus on the fields and population, and they will use all means to seize them.
They will be extraordinarily powerful because of this, becoming a kingdom within a kingdom. However, due to the lack of land and population in the dynasty, the taxation became less and less...
The longer the dynasty lasts, the more expensive it will be. What if there is no money and food? You can only raise taxes on those people who are still paying taxes, and then the people will suffer from hunger and cold, so they can only raise the flag to rebel..."
Li Hong thought carefully, "When they seize the fields and population, they will have to look to Shu."
"Yes." Jia Pingan said with a smile: "People are looking for profit. If they get a hundred dollars, they will think about ten thousand dollars. If they get ten thousand dollars, they will think about millions or tens of millions."
He said: "After monopolizing the fields and population, their ambitions began to expand, and then what else is worth their coveting?"
Li Hong said calmly: "Power."
"Yes, they will covet power. When they stare at power, the throne of the emperor will be shaken. They will control the audiovisual, and will suppress all negative remarks about the annexation of the field population, and they will decorate themselves as the best in the world A bunch of gentlemen..."
"That's how the nobles are!"
And Song and Ming Dynasties.
Those gentlemen in the Song and Ming dynasties boasted themselves as rare good people in the world. While annexing land and population, they boasted for themselves and infiltrated power...
"When they control the power, the dynasty will not be decided by the emperor, do you understand?"
Li Hong nodded, with a cold look in his eyes, "They will regard the dynasty as a tool to make money for themselves."
"This is the root of the dynasty's decline." Jia Pingan asked, "What do you understand?"
He hopes that the prince can clearly understand the world and this dynasty, who is the biggest enemy of this dynasty, and how to fight against these enemies.
In this way, it only takes two generations of emperors to suppress those enemies.
Li Zhi generation, Li Hong generation.
Generation of emperors will tell their children: the biggest enemy of the dynasty is not external enemies, but internal greed.
Li Hong said: "Whoever dares to deceive the public is the great enemy of the dynasty."
Jia Ping'an smiled.
He tapped his thigh with his fingers, wanting to sing a song triumphantly.
The prince said: "The biggest enemy of the Tang Dynasty is the group of people who are constantly devouring the fields and the population! Their mouths must be shut, otherwise they will open their **** mouths and devour everything they see."
Once the biggest enemy of the dynasty is determined, the emperor will have a targeted administration.
As long as those people hear these words, they can strangle Jia Pingan to death.
…
The prime ministers found that the prince hadn't come to observe politics for a while.
The queen said that the prince has been feeling unwell recently and is recuperating.
"Queen, here comes the memorial."
Hebei Road's memorials flew into the palace like snowflakes.
Li Zhi was also alarmed.
"Many officials from Hebei Road went to the evacuation."
Empress Wu said: "It is said that Ping An destroyed the Qinghe Wang family in Beizhou for no reason."
The emperor said indifferently: "This is knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger."
Jia Ping'an was impeached.
"The Wang family just died as a hidden householder, but Zhao Guogong actually killed him. The whole Wang family was imprisoned, and many people had their limbs broken. It's so miserable."
Yang Deli stood on the court hall and sprayed back, "What is a hidden household? Is there a hidden household in the Tang dynasty?"
Well!
The officials who sprayed Jia Ping'an were speechless.
Yang Deli took advantage of the victory to pursue, "Hiding in a hidden house is against the law! Not only did Wang violate the law, he even killed someone...What is the crime of murder?"
The official sneered in his heart.
The officials were embarrassed.
The bosses all have a lot of fields, and if they have fields, they will naturally need people to cultivate them. You said you can hire tenants, but you have to pay taxes to hire tenants... so it's better to get hidden tenants.
Yang Deli said: "Ms. Wang even broke the legs of the children shamelessly, trying to starve them to death and kill chickens and monkeys. What is this? This is a wild dog! This is a dog that is worse than animals. I call it your mother!"
Yang Deli's eyeballs were red.
The queen unexpectedly didn't frown at his swearing.
Yang Deli was born in a rural area, and his family was poor. The little official there was the Tu Emperor, and he and the Jia family had been bullied many times. So when he mentions such things, he empathizes.
The official raised his eyes, "Who are you scolding?"
Yang Deli stared at him, "Yeah scolding you, why? You have to do it, yeah yeah I'm trying my best not to be this official, I'll kill you today!"
The official trembled and cupped his hands, "The queen is the one to decide."
Empress Wu was silent for a moment, "Good scolding!"
…
Good night!
